Comment (by garrett-eclipse):

 One question I had about the use of IP in the Community Events is would an
 anonymized IP be sufficient to geolocate an area to surface community
 events from? If so we could avoid needing to include it in export and
 erasure by anonymizing it prior to storing in the usermeta table which
 would make it no longer PII. Just a thought.

 With Session Tokens I don't believe they would be as secure if the IP was
 anonymized and might not work at all so wouldn't go down that route with
 them.
