There aren't required to be obfuscated or encrypted. Like any data you store, you just have to take reasonable care with it. | |

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's just a random number. Depending where in the EU you live, your IP address may be pretty static. My old ISP would rotate IP addresses once every few months. And storing IP 123.45.67.89 downloaded "How_to_build_a_pipebomb.pdf" may reveal a bit more than just a random number.
