Used for visualization aggregate geolocation data. The IP is never stored, and it is never sent to 3rd parties. We read the IP from the `X-Forwarded-For` header since in production one's backend service is most likely behind a reverse proxy of some sort. We use the left-most value in case there are multiple IPs in it, since that's most likely not from "our" infra and we don't have to worry about spoofing too much because it's not used for anything security related. Some additional reading about getting the real IP address: https://adam-p.ca/blog/2022/03/x-forwarded-for/
