This is some incredible display of ignorance I'm seeing. I have to wonder what the agenda here is.

You still haven’t answered how this is a privacy issue when it involves publicly available information.

Ad companies only see my browser ID, and based on that they give me personalized ads.
They don't know where I live, don't know my name, my blood type, etc.
But it's still illegal because it indirectly (or directly, that is debatable) identifies me as a individual.

As I've explained identifying someone as an individual isn't not identifying my name, it's differentiating between people.
And you can differentiate perfectly fine based on characters in a computer game.
One character is played by one person, another character by another person.

I want to point out that you’re posting on a public forum with the same information visible that is present on that site (minus the combat log): character name, server—I can look you up on the Lodestone and find out your guild name and the jobs you have leveled. Again, this information is publicly available. So how does it constitute as a privacy concern?

Combat log data is available immediately to everyone that gets you in a party. PC users have a copy saved locally on their computer (which also includes all chat logs for that day). None of this is sensitive information like date of births, social security numbers or even things like addresses that can directly identify who you are as a person.

You aren't asking that in good faith. If you believe that everything that occurs in public can never be a matter of privacy then your personal beliefs are preventing you from understanding anything I can ever tell you. You are free to remain ignorant about this.

No, I’m asking you because your entire argument is “this is a privacy concern”. But it involves public data—so how is this a privacy concern? I’m challenging your stance. This is what we call a debate.

You choosing not to answer leads me to believe that you don’t actually have an argument to counter this. Which means your base argument is flawed. If something involves public data—data that can be readily obtained by anyone—then it is not a private matter. Especially since you don’t even own this data you’re so concerned about. You are free to remain willfully obtuse about this matter, though.
