SafeWeb ain't all that

[QUOTEURL=http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/22331.html]What a total idiot I am. I never asked Web anonymizer SafeWeb exactly what they mean when they say they "collect NO logs or user data beyond what is required for performance tuning and security monitoring of our servers. Any such data is carefully safeguarded, only analyzed statistically, and is destroyed soon thereafter."

To me, 'soon thereafter' means 'during the next shift' when we're talking about a company that sells anonymity. And that's what I pretty well expected. And 'soon thereafter' is all you'll find in the company's privacy statement. [/QUOTEURL]

Beware when using Safeweb.

It's not like they have many options to work with. They have to comply with the law whenever the law tells them they need to comply. Every web site controlled in the USA does. There's just more attention brought to the fact that the logs are kept for so many days because the sole business of that site is to allow anonymous browsing.

At least they were honest about it when confronted.
