This question is often asked, and few people understand how easy it is to retrieve an IP address of a remote computer.
Moreover, "The IP address can be collected without prior authorization from the CNIL because it is a given indirect personal character"
The latter allows indeed not determine the natural person who holds it securely because:
Several people can use the same computer
IP addresses can be dynamic and therefore change regularly
Only the ISP can theoretically determine the true individual behind an IP address at any time
That said, it is possible to want to recover so "legitimate" the IP address of a pirate potential, especially when it concerns our personal safety.
I quote:
"Any processing of customer data, such as IP addresses, must comply with the national provisions implementing the requirements of Directive 95/46 / EC; thus, the personal data must be processed for legitimate reasons and for a specific purpose, and treatment should be proportionate to the aim pursued. »
How to retrieve an IP address using the usual services
You all know send an email, but did you know the IP address of the sender is transmitted with the message? How to retrieve an IP address
When you receive an email, you can usually click on "Show original" or "Show the message source" as your email client to display the IP address of the sender of this message.
The same thing happens when you "chat" online with someone because the program needs to know the two IP addresses to allow remote dialogue.
Finally, the same thing happens when you post a message on a forum, most of the time your IP is registered with your message.
That said it is long enough to implement and not always intuitive.
EDIT: After months of legal limbo, I quote the last answer I got: "CNIL considers that the IP address is given to personal character if it identifies a person directly or indirectly physics. " Which is quite incomprehensible is that the Government's website (internet-signalement.gouv.fr), we read? "A number" IP "alone does not identify an individual. Only access and Internet service providers are aware of the holders of IP addresses. »
