Dear Sarah and all the others. For what it is worth, my two Eurocents worth.
Logging conversations within europe does not pose any form of a legal issue. After all, when implemented within a company, or even companies, one is bound by strict rules regarding the usage of "company internet time". Several cases are known whereby staff were dismissed due to severe abuse. The funny thing is that the bunch of clients for which I am testing actually like the logging feature. That way they don't have to take notes but can ask for the log and have an instant report of the conversation as took place. There is however no need to inform users in Europe regarding this logging of conversations. Without being harsh here disclaimers seem to be an American thing, one doesn't see them as much here. The main consent in the Netherlands being "if you're old enough to use a computer, you're old enough to see this". Another matter is that more and more police forces are demanding that log files are being kept of all that is going on. Therefpre being able to trace possible "crimes" being discussed via any form of electronic media. Hope I haven't launched the cat amongst the pidgeons now Nic > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sarah > Mullins > Sent: vrijdag 28 februari 2003 20:16 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [IpswitchIM_Forum] Configuration > > > Vincent, > Logging conversations without both parties consent in some > countries and states posses legal issues. > > In addition, you could explain that conversation logging is used > to allow a user to be added to a conversation, at later time, the > ability to see the entire conversation, and the ability to > receive offline messages. > > What do you think of the idea to send a feature request to inlude > a "Why conversations are being logged" link on the warning dialog > that displays a company specific declaration on reading the > conversation logs, and also explains why conversations are being > logged for offline messages and persistence. > > Thanks, > > Sarah Mullins > > > > ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- > From: "Vincent Toussaint" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2003 17:27:51 -0500 > > What about logging conversation without users knowing..
