ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes the operational data collection framework for the default RPC service pathway. It creates transparency regarding which entity receives transaction-related identifiers and establishes the corporate relationship between the service provider and the data collector, which affects the institutional structure of data handling.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users operating MetaMask with the default Infura RPC configuration have their IP address and wallet address transmitted to and retained by Infura upon each transaction submission. This data collection occurs as a condition of using the specified RPC service and continues unless users manually configure an alternative RPC provider.

When you use MetaMask, the default RPC (Remote Procedure Call) provider is Infura. When you use Infura as your RPC provider, Infura will collect your IP address and your Ethereum wallet address when you send a transaction. This is a necessary part of the Infura service. Consensys, the company that makes MetaMask, also owns Infura.
