Google Analytics also collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to provide and protect the security of the service, and to give Ophea a sense of which country, state, or city in the world our users come from. Users “may apply IP masking so that Google Analytics uses only a portion of an IP address collected, rather than the entire address. In addition, [users] can override IPs at will using [Google’s] IP Override feature." Learn more about IP Override.
