Data in use

Data in use is an information technology term referring to active data which is stored in a non-persistent digital state or volatile memory, typically in computer random-access memory (RAM), CPU caches, or CPU registers.

Scranton, PA data scientist Daniel Allen in 1996 proposed data in use as a complement to the terms data in transit and data at rest, which together define the three states of digital data.
