in fact, it does not.

I guess you are supposed to keep 3 months of logs, which mean, you always 
need to have 3 months of logs available.

Each day, you can delete log files over 3 months old.

If you rotated lof once in 3 months, you would have single file with 3 
months of logs in it, and could remove it 3 months after rotating, when 
first logs would be 6 months old.

As we already told you, rotate daily and remove old logs after 92 days.
and use logrotate config.
