Greeting. What does the page find for you? I see no-thing of concern.

I ask in peace.

To my way of thinking; One in 1 is ideal, as your fingerprint
would be the same as everyone else, making you indistinguishable.

I'm so far still unique (Total / One in...), but how this info'
is used to track me, with an internet facing IP that hundreds
use is unclear. I'm not that bothered. It's like playing hide
and seek; I don't want you to know where I am, but if you do,
so what.

Anyway, I'm back in training, readying for air travel, and the
soon to be installed, 'Home Shower-Cams'. :)
