It depends what you're using it for. Several encrypted messaging programs offer the option of auto-deleting messages, in which case using that program and feature, or using that program without that feature but then refusing to divulge the communications when asked, while discussing certain business matters or arriving at business decisions, would be a violation of at least that state's implementation (if any) of the Uniform Preservation of Private Business Records Act. Many other state and federal requirements apply depending on the circumstances; for example, HIPAA requires retention of any medical information or information used in evaluating medical decisions for a period of 6 years.
