What about the situations with banks or financial related field? I think a lot of people would prefer the site collect information to check for any irregularities on who is making accounts or logging in so they can be warned if anything stands out. Fraudulent accounts pass the cost to every other customer.

Maybe I haven't thought of every situation but don't you want to be able to prevent odd behavior to an account?
