Hi all, I'm curious about the privacy implications as well. I can't think of specific problems with this data, *but* it's information that I didn't think we'd ever been logging. We've historically been quite hands-off with any kind of reader information, other than raw hit counts, and there might well be some community discomfort at discovering it's been both tracked and released, even if completely anonymised.
