Rigo, Another example that just sprung to mind along Alan's line of thinking is pharmaceuticals. I know pharmaceutical advertisers who may store both the IP address of the adserving serving event and the referring URL (site on which the ad appeared) to comply with requirements that they not market certain regulated products outside of certain geographical confines. Hypothetical for instance - if you aren't allowed to market Viagra directly to consumers in the US, but are allowed in Canada and Mexico you want your log files to show IP addresses largely "known" to be in legally allowable jurisdictions (Canada and Mexico) and/or to websites with appropriate country codes. -Brooks -- Brooks Dobbs, CIPP | Chief Privacy Officer | KBM Group | Part of the Wunderman Network (Tel) 678 580 2683 | (Mob) 678 492 1662 | kbmg.com brooks.dobbs@kbmg.com This email including attachments may contain confidential information.
