Communications data

Communications data (sometimes referred to as traffic data or metadata) concerns information about communication.

Communications data is a part of a message that should be distinguished from the content of the message. It contains data on the communication’s origin, destination, route, time, date, size, duration, or type of underlying service.[1]
