Consensys response to IP address collection saying “nothing” has changed in its policy and the updates were for transparency purposes.
The company stated that the policy has always relayed how certain types of personal information are automatically collected, which could include IP addresses. According to ConsenSys, the latest updates were in the act of transparency as to how Infura, MetaMask’s default Remote Procedure Call , works with user data.. Rather the policy says users running the wallet through Infura applications are subject to the data collection.
According to Consensys, Infura is currently looking into technical updates to “minimize the collection of personal information, including anonymization techniques and minimization and elimination of any data collection and retention."
