As far as I know, several court cases in Germany have confirmed[1] that the mapping of dynamically assigned IP to customer identity may only be stored for 7 days. I imagine the same upper bound, or an even tighter one, applies to the records you are talking about.

- pseudalopex 8y agoISPs use port logs for the same reasons as address logs so I imagine a court would treat them the same.
- Dagger2 8y agoAround here I'd expect something more like a 7 year minimum to be more likely... Limiting the timeframe does improve the costs and the privacy impact, but the ISP will still need to build and run all of the logging infrastructure, and the end result is that you'll still be identifiable.
