Relying on a distinction between human and (often personal) device identity seems iffy... at least if you hope to deploy in the EU For instance, this: http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&docid=184668&pageIndex=0&doclang=en&mode=lst&dir=&occ=first&part=1&cid=1116945 Note the courts emphasis on linkability using additional information. Availability of such linkable information is not the exception, which means you can't just analyze the privacy aspects of an effort like IDEAS by looking at one layer of the stack. Cheers Leif
