Interesting... I couldn't really find much information about the privacy
concepts of Kraken, though the flow diagram suggests that the raw data
(which I suppose includes the kind of data we discussed earlier, i.e.
IP, time and date, accessed content, ...) is kept for 7 days until it is
anonymized. Is that true? If so, it seems like a huge mistake to me.
