Hi everyone,
If you are a metamask wallet user, then I think it is important that you know this and know that your privacy is at-stake.
MetaMask in its recent update to their
privacy policy has announced to their users that soon, they will start collecting IP addresses as well as wallet address associated with the IP address.
The company however explained that the collection of users’ data will only apply if they use MetaMask’s default Remote Procedure Call (RPC) application called Infura.
ConsenSys added that individuals who use their own Ethereum node or a third-party RPC provider with MetaMask will not be subject to the changes in the privacy policy.
NOW, HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT...The firm added that information gathered may be disclosed to affiliates, during business deals, or may be used to comply with Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering requirements.
MY OPINION This is a total breach of users privacy and I think it is time to Uninstall metamask if your privacy is paramount to you -
