Speaking with my e-commerce vendor hat on, server logs (apache, mail, 
application audit logs) and other information about visitors 
(especially those who have conducted a purchase transaction with
us, or signed up to our newsletter) never stop having a business
purpose - it's called referential integrity.

We want to use them to track the behaviour fraudulent users 
for example.

Anyone who runs mailing lists has to keep that info to be
able to prove how and when someone opted in.
