Hi guys,
I, perhaps mistakenly, agreed to assist massimo with a couple of stunnel
issues. When I requested a copy of the stunnel logs, he claimed that the
log contains person data and refused to attach it to the mantis ticket.
As I understand the law, IP address alone are not person data. In
specific cases they become personal data when associated with other
information that is itself considered personal information. This link:
https://www.pinsentmasons.com/out-law/guides/ip-addresses-and-the-data-protection-act
match my understanding of the issue. Is my understanding incorrect?
Thanks,
Steven
I think,
Massimo is located in Italy (EU)
so the more current link is
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation>
If you don't need the exact ips, Massimo can replace the ip adresses in
his stunnel logs by *.*.*.*.
Massimos fear is that he may pay a fine of several 1000 Euros or even more.
