Whether the data as such counts as "sensitive" depends on your whereabouts. We are talking about IP addresses and timestamps of enter/leave events which make up the bulk of the logged data. I have a hard time to imagine _any_ legitimate use of that information within the official scope of the Qt Project. If you have any in mind, please explain.
