What it makes you log

Logging duty

Article 56 requires operators of public networks and providers of telecommunications and information and communication technology services to guarantee the inviolability and secrecy of communications and the protection of users' personal data and privacy, except for matters in telephone directories, invoices and other matters set by rule. It states the guarantee in general terms and names no record, log, audit or retention duty. Article 57 is a rule that doubt between a user and a provider is resolved in the user's favor. Neither article has a territorial hook of its own.

Article 56 requires operators of public networks and providers of telecommunications and information and communication technology services to guarantee the inviolability and secrecy of communications, and equally the protection of users' personal data and privacy, except what is contemplated in telephone directories, invoices, and other matters established by regulation.

Article 57 is an interpretation rule directing that, where doubt exists in applying sector regulation between a user and a provider, the rule favouring the user applies; it does not itself impose a data-security or organisational-measures duty.
