An IP address is personal data, it’s only PII in combination with other data. Don’t collect the other data if you don’t need to.

  > it’s only PII in combination with other data It’s always PII for static IPs, and together with a timestamp it’s also PII for dynamic IPs...

    I think you're confusing personal data and PII.

      An IP address can legally identify a person, e.g. in the industry of lawyers sending cease & desist notices (and taking you to court) if you torrent something. There’s a whole bunch of legal precedent for that in the EU.
