IP is considered PII in certain circumstances.
- sofixa 4y agoYes, it is, but my point is that Google Pay collects more PII, including IP, so what Google Analytics does is moot.
- laundermaf 4y agoYou’re right, but also wrong. Not all collection is equal. Placing your payment data in a database that is strictly for legal purposes is different than placing in a connected database built to track users around the web. Privacy laws allow you to keep the data only for as long as legally necessary and required. Google Analytics may keep this data indefinitely.
- blowski 4y agoThis is exactly what GDPR is for, right? Arguing "you've already given some data to one bit of Google, so all bets are off and they can collect and store whatever they like" is the kind of logic we want to put a stop to.
- dbbk 4y agoI'm sure Google always anonoymises the IP now though? They drop the last octet.
- cuu508 4y agoCan we verify that?
- Y-bar 4y ago> [...] the Italian [Data Protection Agency GPDP] reiterated that an IP address is personal data and would not be anonymised even if it were shortened – given Google’s capabilities to enrich such data through additional information it holds. > [...] DSB issued a second decision, declaring the use of Google’s IP anonymisation a useless protection measure for data transfers between the EU and the United States. https://noyb.eu/en/update-further-eu-dpa-orders-stop-google-analytics https://noyb.eu/en/update-further-eu-dpa-orders-stop-google-...
- xani_ 4y agoTheir servers still get your IP tho and by default nothing in USA is GDPR compatible because US government can enforce leaking any info they want from company
