Ghostery collects what websites I'm acessing AND my IP adress?
Ghostery collects what websites I'm acessing AND my IP adress? I was reading this particular topic: https://getsatisfaction.com/ghostery/... . So... What's the real with Ghostery? It's suposed to protect our privacy but in the final, it's collects our personal informations too? Very ambiguous...

Please read http://www.ghostery.com/privacy-bt
That description is accurate (although it should clarify that GhostRank is suspended whenever Firefox is in Private Browsing mode).

Yeah, I already read this privacy page before installing Ghostery, but I remember to see after in another part of Ghostery's website that in some particular cases it's collects our information and plus that particular topic I had posted made me think that exists contradictory terms of use/privacy...
So the question remains: URL websites and IP address are collected or not? If yes, it's valid only to GhostRank mode on or even without the GhostRank being on? -

1Hi Ezio,
You might be confusing Ghostery.com's and Ghostery the browser extension's privacy policies, but I'm not sure.
Ghostery the extension comes with an opt-in (you have to enable it) option called GhostRank, which essentially tells us which trackers were seen on which websites. This is the way you can thank us for providing Ghostery and related services, if you like.
IP addresses are discarded and website URLs are cleaned of sensitive information to the best of our knowledge (querystring parameters are discarded) as part of GhostRank processing.
Please see http://purplebox.ghostery.com/?p=1016... for more information. -
