Nope. Because legitimate interest kicks in there - you can’t provide the requested service without the IP address. At all.

Turn off Google analytics and you can still provide the service.

Really you should just stop using Google analytics. I know all the data is really fun to look at and can even be useful but it’s a bit like poisoning people just for walking into your business.

You most definitely can provide a service without having a US IP address. Many services have IPs and servers in the EU instead of the US.
