Lets see if they mean 7 days in the Biblical sense! I wonder if browser, country and OS are protected data though? It can't be readily ised to identify someone, i.e. there are quite a few people in Ireland, using Windows XP and Firefox. The DPC website only refers to IP address and email address.

Anyway, I would love to read their response. Though it's probably scheduled for action at twenty past hell freezing over.
