OK Thanks Manish.

I knew it was on a per user basis. But at least the events not logged
during that time are not revealed. The other risk however is if someone
turns off the logging without the user knowing then all events since that
point in time are now logged from that moment forwards. Not everyone uses
different accounts, especially when some video drivers cause fast user
switching to crash.
