Hi Achim,

most shop owners do want to have the user data in their shops to use them for 
marketing activities and evaluation. They do want to know if somebody is a NEW 
customer or if he already bought something in the shop etc.

All those activities might not be allowed if somebody buys explicitly WITHOUT 
andy registration. The data have to be kept for fulfillment reasons - but only 
as long as needed.

So from a customer point of view I would agree that data have to be deleted 
after a certain period of time - which probalby has to be configurable cause 
there might be some different periods of warranty etc. which have effect on how 
long the data have to be kept.
Another question is, if those data have to be kept in the shop database. I 
think there might be customers who are (by pretty good reasons!) afraid that 
their personal data might not be very save on a web server in the internet.
