The section on ("HN Information") - does this include e.g. IP address under "any submissions or comments that you have publicly posted to the Hacker News site"? My naive reading of that would say "no". But is that correct?
"If you create a Hacker News profile, we may collect your username (please note that references to your username in this Privacy Policy include your Hacker News ID or another username that you are permitted to create in connection with the Site, depending on the circumstances), password, email address (only if you choose to provide it), the date you created your account, your karma (HN points accumulated by your account in response to submissions and comments you post), any information you choose to provide in the “about” field, and any submissions or comments that you have publicly posted to the Hacker News site (“HN Information”)."
"Log data: Information that your browser automatically sends whenever you visit the Site (“log data”). Log data includes your Internet Protocol address, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, and how you interacted with the Site."
Then there's also this section:
"Online Tracking and Do Not Track Signals: We and our third party service providers may use cookies or other tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites following your use of the Site."
I would assume that "other tracking technologies" includes IP addresses.
