Until after you read the privacy policy, you can't know what they intend to do with that information. As a trivial example, they might be handing IP address information to third-parties--hell: the website itself might be hosted by a third-party (or might be behind a CDN provided by a third-party) or use frameworks/fonts hosted by third-parties, even if it isn't as ostentatious as "the website this policy is hosted on has a tracking pixel / login button / ad on it from a third-party"--who can then correlate that IP address with accesses to other websites. Really, depending on your Internet provider, your IP address should be thought of as a direct personal identifier; in my case, I use a residential cable service, so my IP address only changes about once a year, making it trivial to correlate what I do across sites.

- tonyhart7 2y agoAnything that connect internet that means you send IP addresses over to make request You think only website do this ???
- kragen 2y agoyou could send it to someone who you already trust, like google, instead of someone you are trying to decide on whether to trust or not
- metadat 2y agoDo we really trust google? Why? Lol, as an entity it's proven it only cares about itself and making moar $$$$$$.
- kragen 2y agothe context of this discussion is people installing apps from the google play store (something i do not do myself), so, yes, those people do trust google and indeed have already informed it in a personally identifiable way that they are pondering installing the app. having google provide them with the privacy policy for the app would be a pure improvement
