Logs are kept for an undefined period of time

Logs are text files containing some information about web visitors, such as user agents (showing for instance that you're connecting from Firefox for Android) and ip addresses (which reveal your approximate location). This case applies to Services that may keep logs indefinitely, allowing user sessions to be tracked over time. Logs that are kept for a time "consistent with applicable law" also fall under this case, since this period of time may be murky or undefined.

Should this be just in general "logs" and not user logs? In that case it would cover also server logs which are way more often mentioned in ToS.
