EU law says your IP is PII.
When you have the /24 of a searcher, and assets on X% of websites where that same IP accesses clicking through from a search, I mean, it's well known that this is not very private.
And also doing xx searches a day. The idea of anonymity becomes a fantasy.
- yegg 3y agoWe don't pass any parts of the IP to anyone.
- ricardo81 3y agoSure, in the case of this specific tool. But the point of something being demonstrably 'private' is diminished based on your usage of the word in other contexts. And again, hitting Microsoft IPs. Microsoft have assets on many websites, so the correlation is trivial over time, no specific IP needed, no cookies needed.
- JAlexoid 3y agoNo. That's utterly wrong interpretation, according to ECJ. IP is not PII per se(on it's own, if you don't understand that phrase) If it's hard to understand, it's the same with phone numbers. Your phone number is PII, yet in every country with an option to move your phone number to another phone line provider - they are all very much not private... And telco can check if your phone number is in use, and not only telco. Phone numbers are significantly more private than IPs.
