Comment (by MattyRob):

 I've been having a look at what other providers position is on this
 situation.

 Joomla! have an opt out on first log in it seems. Drupal explicitly cover
 it is their Privacy policy although I disagree with their assertion that
 collecting data linked to an IP address is no personally identifiable!

 Screen grabs attached.
