Web sites visited?

In the field of telecommunications, data retention generally refers to the storage call detail records (CDRs) of telephony and internet traffic and transaction data by governments and commercial organisations. In the case of government data retention, the data that is stored is usually of telephone calls made and received, emails sent and received and web sites visited. Location data is also collected. The primary objective in government data retention is traffic analysis and mass surveillance. By analysing the retained data governments can identify the locations of individuals, an individual's associates and the members of a group such as political opponents.
