Can internet service providers give you browsing history if you ask for it?

Question

For my own internet of course. (other people use it too). Also, I use a wireless network in my house with multiple computers connected to it. Is there a way to somehow retrieve internet history even if its been deleted from the computer?

Answer 1

Yea, your Internet Service Provider should have a copy of all the webpages your web address has been to. However, I'm not 100% sure if they are allowed to give that information out to anyone who asks.

Sorry if this doesnt really clear anything up, but I hope it helps.

Usually you machine store browsing history also for certain number of days. This is how the browser narrows down the url when you are tying in the address bar. This again depends on the configuration of the browser you are using.

However you need extended history, the ISP is usually able to provide that, but like the earlier comment stated it depends on the law of the land on privacy.

However if you requestion your own history then it might worth the question to your isp.
