How do I prevent Analytics.js from collecting IP addresses? – Twilio Support

Question

How can I prevent Analytics.js from collecting a user’s IP address in my events?

Product

Twilio Segment

Environment

Segment Console

Answer

To prevent Analytics.js from collecting the user’s IP address, you must set { context: { ip: "0.0.0.0" }} on each event call. This tells Segment not to record the IP for that specific request. The override applies only to the individual event, so you need to include it on every Page, Track, Identify, Group or Screen call where you want IP collection disabled.
