Won't sell != Won't collect

> We will never log your IP address (the way other companies identify you)

Never log IP != Never log anything

Bonus: The way other companies identify you ~= There are other ways

Edit: Looks like many people assume I'm nitpicking. So here are more specific questions:

* Is logging a hashcode of the IP considered as "not logging the IP"?

* Can combination of timestamp, packet info other than end IP (latency, hops, etc), geoIP and other factors be used for deep intelligence?

"I can't be arsed to pay $3/mo for a VPS that I can tunnel my DNS requests through, so I'm gonna nitpick on hackernews about a company trying their best to offer it to /everyone/ for free"

No that's not fair. Everything is open to criticism.

But not every criticism is as high quality as every other criticism. The above for example is just low quality nitpicking.

So what's your take on hashcode of the IP considered as "not logging the IP" (and other stuff edited in comment)?

That wasn't cited so I'm not sure it has a basis.
