Thats a bold claim.  So they are not producing weblogs? That I doubt.

According to their press release they now hold no data at all.

LOL, sounds like the marketting men have written that.  I think what they are saying is they don't store IPs in ad database ;)

I'll guarantee they keep and analyse weblogs.

Also, the IP has to be stored, if only for a few milliseconds by the webserver processing the request - so their claim about not stored is technically stretching it a little even if they didn't log (which they will)
