What data is collected in Greece? What the Law says

Παρακάτω μπορείτε να διαβάσετε το Νόμο για τα δεδομένα προσωπικού χαρακτήρα, που ισχύει στην . Αν διαβάσετε το παρακάτω κείμενο, θα σας είναι ξεκάθαρο, ότι τα δεδομένα συλλέγονται από τους πάροχους υπηρεσιών επικοινωνίας, και μπορούν υποβληθούν σε επεξεργασία από τους ίδιους ή φυσικά τις αρμόδιες Αρχές.

Data is retained in providers' databases for 12 months after the date of communication.

The important thing to note is that the collection of personal data only concerns call metadata and e-mail, that is, telephone number, time of call, duration, location, and not the call or the e-mail itself.

So, according to the following, we are impressed, as long as the content of the calls is not collected, how many conversations have leaked from time to time?
