For how long do I need to store the logs?
- by mindas
I will soon be running an internet-based public service which will physically be hosted in the UK on a virtual server. The virtual server is provided by the ISP. I was wondering if there is/are any legal requirement(s) to keep access logs, and if yes - for how long?
There is a Wikipedia article that touches this subject but I'm afraid my brain just can't grasp the legislative gibberish.
I believe there's EU law and there's UK law; and I do need to comply to both, right?
Can somebody explain this in pure layman's terms?
