Whether it is legal or not likely depends on jurisdiction - European countries likely have very different laws than e.g. US or China. However, the ethical way to do this is to get an informed consent - inform the user in clear terms (not buried in the middle of 20 pages of obfuscated legalese displayed inside a 10-line, non-resizable box) about what is being collected, for what purpose, how long is it going to be kept and allow the user to opt out of it.
