Show HN: Sky Data Retention Response

I though I'd share with HN my recent experience with a 'Request to cease data retention and to delete existing data' I sent Sky (UK ISP). I did this after bumping into this submission at HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7916024

Dear [redacted],

Thank you for your email. We are aware of the ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union. However, the Government has confirmed that it continues to consider that the UK Data Retention (EC Directive) Regulations 2009 remain in force within the UK. We will therefore continue to meet any obligations as set out in those Regulations under UK law, and retain data in accordance with our data privacy notice, which is attached for your convenience.

Sky does not comment on the specific operational arrangements for the retention of data.

Regards
