I'm having no luck with it, it seems to be all telco fluff but nothing about how they implement the EC directive on capturing traffic logs. Have sent 2 emails to people that actually know Polish law that can point me in a better direction.
The only cool thing that I found is that apparently telcos are not allowed to just take info off your device. That's illegal. lol.

Have to weaken this to "maybe Tuesday" because a throwaway pixel 7 that was on its way to me and originally set to arrive today is apparently stuck in customs. Borders are the sux.
