The Eagle Tree Data Recorder and the Novak Data Sentry do not transmit any radio signal. Any data logger that does not send live information to the driver is not banned at all. You specifically highlighted the words "data logging", there is nothing in the rules that ban storing data to download after the race.
The relevant words in the rules that you have quoted above for your argument are:

Therefore, it is not allowed for any radio/wireless signals to be transmitted from the car to an external source during a race, that is judged by the officials to give the driver a competitive advantage during that particular race.

This bans the Nomadio Sensor which updates the transmitter screen and bans the Eagle Tree Seagull Dashboard System which give live information to a laptop, but neither of them are plain data loggers.
There is nothing in the rules that bans the Eagle Tree USB Car Data Recorder or the Novak Data Sentry, both of them need to be plugged into the USB port of a computer to enable you to read the data. They don't transmit any signal from the car while it is recording the data, and the recorded information is impossible to give the driver a "competitive advantage" during that race as you can't read it until the race is finished.
Please feel free to examine the rules to find something that bans data logging that isn't transmitted during the race.
