From our experience with WebRTC click to call button for customer care support, part of the contextual information is available for the contact center with no need to give access (IP address, language that you are using to navigate, referral to reach the site, language by default of the browser, type of browser/device,...) Should be include the possibility to have access to part of the contextual info without permission in this scope?

I would say yes even if as a citizen I don't agree with it. At least it should be possible to have this behavior ruled by Legal laws from regulators. In these situations, the end-user should be also informed about how his contextual info is being used.
