I don’t have access to IP addresses, location data, or behavioural information. I only have access to the necessary information that enables my website to function seamlessly.
You do not, but Cloudflare does because they collect everything.
Look, I get where you’re coming from, but saying Cloudflare collects everything just because they have some access to data is a bit of a stretch. Sure, they might have some data for security and optimization, but that doesn’t mean they’re hoarding every little detail about users. They’re more like the bouncer at the club, keeping an eye on things without memorizing everyone’s life story. So, while they might have a bit of info, calling it “collecting everything” is like saying a bouncer knows everything about the party – it’s just not the case.
I get your point, you like the easy and convenient hosting that Cloudflare offers. I wouldn’t feel comfortable logging into a website that’s behind Cloudflare because they see everything. Including login credentials you submit. That’s why I try to avoid CDNs (not just Cloudflare) in general. Also, what really annoys me is how Cloudflare treats VPN and Tor users. You need to solve 5 million different restarted CAPTCHAs. This is in my opinion user-hostile. I don’t do anything bad, I am just a regular user looking to protect my privacy and not expose my true IP and location by using a VPN.

Your IP address is not worth their storage costs.
