What we can do is a privacy statement on the DeviceMap website, that explains how the data is handled and who has access to it. The latter depends on the technical solution - the simplest is to upload the data to a location that's only readable by DeviceMap PPMC members (and to whoever's root on ASF servers of course) - would that be acceptable to people who are thinking of submitting logs? > > Also, would it make sense to remove the last 8 or 16 bits from the IP > address?

We might also accept logs without IP address and/or without timestamp, to make it possible for more people to contribute, if they have issues with giving us that data. -Bertrand
