"Encrypted" is a weasel word. There are many examples of "it's encrypted" even when encrypted refers to 8192-bit keys, where the system is not secure. Examples abound.
So claims of "encryption" are meaningless.
Instead, claims of "only X, Y and Z could access to this" are meaningful.
"Could" is a strong word because it includes unforeseen circumstances such as writs and court orders.
