Internet measurement is important to researchers from industry, academia and civil society. While measurement of the internet can give insight into the functioning and usage of the Internet, it can present risks to user privacy. This document describes briefly those risks. It also outlines considerations for researchers to reference when designing internet measurements to ensuring that those measurements can be carried out with user safety as a priority.
