it is quite likely that they also need to be told something about
privacy.

For me, the most important mention of privacy is:

   It is RECOMMENDED as best current practice that Internet-facing
   servers logging incoming IP addresses from inbound IP traffic also
   log:

Do note "Internet-facing servers ***logging incoming IP
addresses***". It means that noone recommends to log IP addresses, the
RFC just says that, ***if you do log***, logging the IP address
without the port number is not very sensible.
