Newark, NJ asked in Criminal Law, Business Law, Civil Rights and Internet Law for New Jersey

Q: If my boyfriend decided to record our conversations that took place in our bedroom, is it

an invasion of my privacy? Can I sue him as a result? Also if his friends have hacked into my cellphone to obtain private information and set up fake websites, like fake Google, can I build a case of intrusion upon seclusion for the mental anguish that I'm experiencing as a result? Can I also build a case against Tmobile for assisting him with codes and Google for negligence by linking my account or access to my account with him?

A: If your boyfriend was a part of the conversation he is allowed to record it, as for the rest of our question I will leave that for other counsel to answer.
