The torrents are posted publicly. Each client is adding their own address to the list of participants, which is also public. Whenever I download a torrent, the list of other participants is available plainly in a tab in my torrent client.

If some client chooses to keep a record of public data, how is this in any way an invasion of privacy?

This is like complaining that your privacy has been invaded when someone takes a photo of a public street, and you happen to be in the frame.
