fix(analytics): disable geoIP enrichment on all event paths - #11
Merged
Conversation
PostHog Cloud was deriving $geoip_* (city, postal code, lat/lon) from the client IP on every event — violating RFC 0001's no-location promise. Add $geoip_disable to capture() defaults, crashProperties() and the deferred crash replay so no path sends location. Signed-off-by: will wade <willwade@gmail.com>

PostHog Cloud enriched Android events with
,, and/longitude(city + postcode + lat to 4 dp) derived from the client IP — despite anonymize IPs being ON. Violates RFC 0001's no-location promise; the per-event flag is the only Cloud-level control. No code path may send an event without it.
