Dear community,
something important for us happened today that may have some impact on our daily business.
Our Federal Court just decided that IP addresses are personal data and the federal law about data protection must also be followed also for IP addresses. Collecting IP adresses for private (corporate) investigation is not legal. Companies like Logistep have to stop their activities immédiately!
As ISP be carefull not to publish traffic information containing IP addresses.
see you, Pascal

I haven't decided yet, if that's a good thing or not. But could you point us to an online source for this news? Google isn't very helpful at the moment.
Thanks, Viktor
