that statement is wrong.
first of all IP Addresses are only PII if you store them to identify users, means that if you are user table has an ip_address field, it is, however...
if you store all ip's accessing your service in a database to find malicious logins it isn't.
so basically the statement is, it depends.
the connection of user to ip makes it PII.
