Community Events Privacy
v0.1 · by Corey McKrill
Prevents WordPress from sending a user's IP address when determining a location to use for listing nearby WordPress community events.
About this plugin
WordPress connects to an API at api.wordpress.org to get a list of upcoming WordPress community events near the current user. In order to improve accuracy when determining the location of the current user and get relevant events, WordPress includes a partially anonymized IP address for the user when it sends its request.
This plugin prevents WordPress from sending an IP address for this purpose. It may decrease the accuracy of the location used to display events.
See the WordPress.org privacy page for more information about how IP addresses are used.
