From the screenshot at https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/issues/6185#issuecomment-1000773511:

… don't store your IP address. …

From https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/languagetool/privacy/:

… your IP address is stored …

From https://languagetool.org/legal/privacy:

… The processing of personal data on this website and in our add-ons is carried out in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act, Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG 2018). …

No mention of GDPR etc. at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/languagetool/privacy/.

In our web server log files, your IP address is stored in an abbreviated form (like 192.168.xxx.xxx) so it cannot be used to identify you.

I don't see why the GDPR needs to be mentioned here, too.
