The IP address, on its own, should not considered PII.
There was a ruling in Breyer vs. Germany that IP addresses can be considered PII – in certain circumstances.
The case was brought against an ISP, and the court ruled that the company had enough correlating data at its disposal to make an IP address de facto PII for any of its customers. The court limited its ruling, saying that with just an IP address alone, the protections associated with the directive wouldn’t apply.
