EFF Creates Usage Log Privacy Tool

Goo Ol’ /usr/lib/info pointed the way to a Usage Log Management Tool (ULMT) being developed by the EFF.

They say it will help web site owners manage the configuration and retention of server logs in ways that help ensure end user privacy and reduce legal risks associated with log file data.
The design is based on ideas developed at the Usage Log Data Management Working Group at the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy Conference in New York City in April.

The UMLT is desgined to work with Apache servers, but also serves as a reference implementation of policy recommendations by the EFF and the working group. The design documents are available at:
