What in the absolute hell are you talking about with the IP shit? I feel like I've had a stroke.
In normal circumstances, your IP address is always available to each and every server you connect to online to retrieve content from.
Like at a restaurant, you put your order in, they need to know the table you're sitting at to bring the food out to you. The table is your IP here.
This is absolute base line principles of TCP/IP! It's the reason "servers" are called that, they serve the content to you!
You could always have someone else go to the restaurant, then bring the food to wherever you are, that would be the equivalent of a VPN, or a proxy, etc.
But tl;dr- everything you access online sees the IP address for your connection. It's not some security issue that any specific site points that fact out. It's how the internet fucking works.
Sure as hell isn't a red flag in a privacy policy. Most sites leave it out because it's like saying the sky is blue.
I can't even. You get wet if you go swimming. Your IP address is seen if you do anything online.
