If it contains no explicitly private information (no username) and
isn't linked to any other log entries (no "person 489272 clicked the
following links...")  - and from the way Magnus describes it this
seems to be the case - then it seems to me like it wouldn't, because
no data can be linked to a user in any reasonable or consistent
manner. That said, IANAL. ;-)

(It is pushing into the area where we do need to be aware of privacy
concerns, though!)
