So with just my ingame name a friend can now know how good or bad I play in the game. Or for example an Ex-wife or Ex-boyfriend could do the same thing just by knowing your in game name. Or a coworker that than tells my boss that X did not work and played instead the last three days the new raid in ff14. Not to mention that you are not even easily allowed to collect data from underaged persons. That aside nobody forbids you to use in Final Fantasy 14 your real name. It is uncommon to do that and stupid, but someone could do that. That aside do not misunderstand me here, a judge could call that this is all totally fine, but as far I am aware right now there was not a case like that so far.
And the fflogs doesnt show to anyone your IP adress.
It may be the concern if they are protecting it enough on their side, however you cant get a data from someone on your dungeon you did yesterday and identify his real life person through collected by fflogs data, there is not a chance of it, besides your IP adress there is nothing to protect here.
A member of your guild may know you, but the law does not apply to the individuals but to the companies that holds your personal data.
If that would be the case, then we all would have to be anonymous without nicknames, because X person could know our IRL identity and tell everyone around about us.
