I think if that's violating privacy you should stop using the internet, because (nearly) every website/server has user statistics that know even more about you than the above system will ever will(IP, OS, browser).

Yeah, so what's your point? Sure, this website can get the information, but not the general public.

In reality, they are the only one that can see their private info, because the graphic is created in real-time for each person who sees is. When you see the graphic, you will see your IP. When others see the graphic, they will see their IP.
