The Atlas of Data Retention in the EU is a sparetime project of some data protection and privacy activists, mainly from Germany.
It was started by ulif to tackle the lack of up-to-date infos about data retention all over the EU. We try hard to update and examine our data as quick as possible but we cannot guarantee to be accurate in all details all of the time.
Want to help?
If you found an error or want to share relevant news about data retention in the EU, we would love to hear from you. You can use the communication channels in the side bar or, even better, file an issue on our codeberg issue tracker. Ideally you add available public sources of your news.
We love to connect to other privacy activists in Europe. Please drop us a line if you think we should get known to each other.
