Missing GDPR options

  • Hi,
    i like your plugin very much and it does its job very well. But i miss an option, to anonymize the last part of IPv4 or IPv6. GDPR is neccessary for every european website and their visitors.
    Would love to see that feature in future.

    With best regards from Germany,
    ITDAH

    This data would fall under the 6 bases outlining how an IP address can be used in Article 6 of the GDPR. It is used to fulfill a legitimate interest. Namely the interest of your company to block known attackers. Without using the IP address you couldn’t check whether the visitor is on the Project Honeypot or Spamcop blacklists. Saving the IP address without the last part of the address would make it unusable in this instance. The visitors IP address is also most likely dynamic and therefore not covered by the GDPR.
