I should have a right that you should not save my personal information longer than needed. Now what?

IP addresses are considered to be PII so you need to either truncate them before saving or have a deletion routine in place.

Well, in regards to what the OP said, this whole "we need to track our users" stuff is bullshit. I see those "highly optimized" campaigns too, when something goes wrong and the SEA people start to cry because somebody st

There's no hard limit here provided by the law or otherwise. Some of the local data protection offices say that they find something of "up to 30 days" reasonable, so I guess that's a good starting point. Cutting that tim

This is the way! Glad you went that way, still struggling to get everything set up like this for our company. But marketing will come around the corner soon... ;-)

I think it's the same as with Google. Of course there's some "hull" called "Alphabet" who legally owns Google, but what more than a hull is it? Don't know whether it's for tax reasons, spreading the r

Well, all those popups are at least showing how much you've been fucked up before by tracking and analytics and other systems in place. While the outcome isn't optimal (for the moment) we now at least see what's happening.
