What are anonymized IP addresses?
The Anonymize IP addresses feature in MyCludo prevents the storage of IP addresses. Cludo replaces the last three IP digits with zeros to anonymize the IP address. The replacement happens instantly every time an event is registered, and Cludo does not store the original IP address. This setting works retroactively, meaning that IP addresses collected before enabling this setting will also be anonymized.
This setting is useful when you do not require IP address-based search filtering. Enabling this feature disables IP filtering and Excluded IP addresses, but does not impact the collection of device data and geo-location data.
How to anonymize IP addresses
If you are looking to prevent the storing of IP addresses, this can be achieved using Anonymized IP addresses.
- In the navigation of MyCludo, select Configuration → Data settings.
- Enable the Anonymize collected ip-addresses toggle.
- Click the Save button.
IP addresses will now be anonymized by replacing the last three digits with zeros. This setting works retroactively, meaning that IP addresses collected before enabling this setting will also be anonymized. Cludo does not store the original IP address.
