[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Principle on Proportionality for "Thin Data"access

Why, just this month the German Bundesgerichtshof confirmed this in a 
review of a decision of the state court Berlin ( Az. VI ZR 135/13):

http://juris.bundesgerichtshof.de/cgi-bin/rechtsprechung/document.py?Gericht=bgh&Art=pm&Datum=2017&Sort=3&nr=78289&pos=0&anz=74

It followed the decision of the European Court from October last year:

C-582/14, NJW 2016, 3579

The German explanation:

/"Auf der Grundlage des EuGH-Urteils ist das Tatbestandsmerkmal 
"personenbezogene Daten" des § 12 Abs. 1 und 2 TMG in Verbindung mit § 3 
Abs. 1 BDSG richtlinienkonform auszulegen: Eine dynamische IP-Adresse, 
die von einem Anbieter von Online-Mediendiensten beim Zugriff einer 
Person auf eine Internetseite, die dieser Anbieter allgemein zugänglich 
macht, gespeichert wird, stellt für den Anbieter ein (geschütztes) 
personenbezogenes Datum dar. //
/

/Als personenbezogenes Datum darf die IP-Adresse nur unter den 
Voraussetzungen des § 15 Abs. 1 TMG gespeichert werden. Diese Vorschrift 
ist richtlinienkonform entsprechend Art. 7 Buchst. f der Richtlinie 
95/46 EG – in der Auslegung durch den EuGH – dahin anzuwenden, dass ein 
Anbieter von Online-Mediendiensten personenbezogene Daten eines Nutzers 
dieser Dienste ohne dessen Einwilligung auch über das Ende eines 
Nutzungsvorgangs hinaus dann erheben und verwenden darf, soweit ihre 
Erhebung und ihre Verwendung erforderlich sind, um die generelle 
Funktionsfähigkeit der Dienste zu gewährleisten. Dabei bedarf es 
allerdings einer Abwägung mit dem Interesse und den Grundrechten und 
-freiheiten der Nutzer."/

Hope this helps.
