Hello, sorry for late response ;-) No the question in fact is that there should be no difference weather it is a Swedish law or e.g a Polish law that has the "restriction" of putting personal contact data in the RIPE db, I think that all counties have or will make some kind of laws agains data protection. I would like us to come up with a templates (-s) that could be useful in these cases. This template should clearly point out that there is a customer that is only documented at the actual ISP and not in the db. I understand that several isp:s allready have had these kind of issues over the years and due to data protection laws only have internal records over the customers, but I believe that the templates that have been created differ a lot. Is there a way to take out information about how many objects there is in the db that is only personal contact data without no referrence to a company name? Maybe we then could see which areas (countries) this concerns the most. (+ get a good clean up done in the db) Regards Katri that could be used in these cases.
