Of course Google needs the IP of the end user, as Igloo said " (How is it going to know to where to send the return data?) ". By putting the API you your page, you are for example putting '<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=....' which is Google's server, and they need the IP adresss to send the javascript to the users browser. > > - Andrew > > On Jan 23, 12:42 pm, marcelo <[email protected]> wrote: >> On Jan 23, 4:19 pm, Andrew <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> > My organization's policy is that no private information may >> > be sent outside the country.
