How can I disable the collection of IP addresses in the database?

Unfortunately, you can’t do this easily. Actually those IP addresses on database are not used anywhere in Ghost at all. We need a change on Ghost that only stores the data Ghost reads from geolocation column (which are country, country_code and region), and drop all other information.

I would like to open a PR for that, but too busy with other things. But I think the best is to bring this to GitHub repository with an issue or PR. Community forum doesn’t make it visible to Ghost team.
