I have a lot of thoughts on this one... am I lawyer - but still haven't worked out how to advise my clients.

On the analytics side of the issue, I believe any bot should be safe as long as it produces aggregated data readable to humans.

Hear hashes user IDs would stay hashes if they need to hit permanent storage at some point.
