Australian Businesses Terrified of Metadata Retention - PureVPN to the Rescue
The recent Metadata retention laws in Australia mandate the collection of confidential data on businesses as well as regular users. Users in Australia can, however, secure their private information with PureVPN's Business VPN.
HongKong, October 20, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The implementation of metadata retention law has not only shaken Australian internet users to their core, but Australian businesses too are feeling the wrath of this law. They are now forced to handover confidential information about their customers to Australian law and intelligence agencies.
The data retention law was announced a while ago but has been made effective recently. According to the data retention law, ISPs and telcos will retain ‘compulsory’ information of almost every internet user in Australia. Fortunately, PureVPN was among the first VPNs to report these laws and also took the lead by optimizing its services to tackle this issue way before anyone else.
PureVPN's services replace the IP address of an Australian business user with one from another country, which in return allows the user to avoid the cursed Metadata Retention Law - Exactly what all the Australians need right now.

How Does Australian Meta Data Retention Law Affects Businesses?
There are countless businesses in Australia that deal with personal information of their clients and/or users. The information classified as confidential is not supposed to fall into the hands of a third party, but this is exactly what’s about to happen, thanks to the infamous and unwanted Metadata retention law.
There is all sort of information that businesses deal with including medical reports and conditions of clients, financial stats, social security numbers, and usage of unmentionable products. After the implementation of data retention law, all of this information will no longer be confidential, unless the users have a business VPN
What Sort of Data is Being Retained?
Strangely, when the data retention law was initially announced, there was no information provided by the government about which information will be retained. This is very bizarre keeping in mind that this law had been under amendments for at least eight long years.
However, it is certain that the account holder details, the source and destination of a communication session, its date, time, duration, location and channel (e.g. voice, social media platform, SMS etc), and type of delivery services i.e. ADSL, VoIP, Cable, Wi-Fi etc. are retained. By looking at these details, even the most non-tech-savvy businessman will realize that getting a small business VPN service is inevitable.
