I actually had a customer complain that the email that they received by placing an order contained their IP address. They indicated that this is a violation of their privacy. Anyway ... I could comment about this forever ... but after much thought, I don't think that there is any value in displaying the IP address in their email. So, how easy is it to remove from that email when they place a new order?
Thanks!

It IS a beach!
Read more about that in the GDPR : https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content ... 79&from=DE
Recording IP-Addresses is part of a so called "private" data.
While I understand that IP-Addresses may sometimes needed (e.g. check fraudster etc.).
But storing them is not allowed.
What you can do is to store such in a "masked" form (e.g. 82.123.xxx.xxx)
Finally if stored it should not point to any customer (the theory).
And sending the IP-Address back to the customer is a "very" bad idea!
What for should this be good?
p.s.: instead of adding <!-- .. --> remove the complete line inside the template (because it will be though visible with them).
