Metamask collecting user IP addresses has been a buzz over the past few days.

Tl;dr: MetaMask does not collect IP address but the middleware used by Metamask, Infura, requires this information to process the transaction and communicate back to the transactors. Infura on the other hand is pursuing technical solutions to minimize data collection, including anonymization techniques and complete elimination of data collected.
