Ok, just update the ToS. No ability needed to provide opt out of that IP collection? No ability needed to go, upon request, and delete all these IP+timestamp logs that I could use to correlate with their name? Handwaving all of this stuff away as clear and easy is at the least ignorant to real people's concerns and at most willfully dishonest.
- dvfjsdhgfv 8y agoHow can anyone "opt out of that IP collection"? It's not the way the Internet works: logging is an essential part of of its infrastructure (and in certain jurisdictions it's required by law). The only problem is if the IP is associated with personal data. If the user really wants to remove it, they can remove their personal data, and in this way the problem disappears. On the other hand, if you plan to sell the IPs associated with some other data to a third party that can easily link it to people (Google and Facebook can), you may want to consult a lawyer.
- DanBC 8y agoCan you point to the bit of the law that requires website owners to delete data upon request? Or the bit of the law that requires website owners to ask for consent to gather IP addresses?
