Metamask, a widely-used Ethereum wallet, recently rolled out a revised privacy policy aimed at enhancing user transparency and control regarding personal data, particularly in relation to IP address handling. The policy update emphasizes Metamask's dedication to providing a privacy-centric experience within the web3 ecosystem.

The revised policy specifies that Metamask may briefly process a user's IP address as necessary for certain services, contingent upon the user's Metamask settings. This strategic approach ensures that IP address processing aligns closely with functional requirements while prioritizing user privacy.

For users desiring further constraints on data collection, employing virtual private networks (VPNs) is recommended. Additionally, users have the flexibility to modify their remote procedure call (RPC) endpoints at any time, including the option to utilize personalized RPC endpoints tailored to their preferences. These measures collectively empower users to exert greater control over their data and privacy settings within the Metamask ecosystem.
