IP addresses and personal data: K.U. v Finland

Mccullagh, K

Abstract

Classifying IP addresses as personal data could have serious implications for search engines and many other electronic businesses, in particular, the personalised advertising business model of the Internet. Recent court decisions have not clarified the position, so businesses that log IP addresses should proceed with caution.
