Do you save logs? If yes, there's your PII.

Thankfully, the servers were not in Europe! I said "hardly". It's genuinely amusing how people downvote facts, simply because they don't fit the zeitgeist.

Nobody mentioned Europe, except you. If you are referring to GDPR this still applies if you host outside of Europe.

We disagree webserver logs contain 'hardly any PII'. You may find it insignificant PII, but it does not constitute 'hardly'. IMO its a circumstantial goldmine.

In the US at least one court found that IPs were not PII

I am curious who "we" are- a royal plural?

And in EU, it is.

We referred to you and me.
