The IP of the request is kept in the 'access' database table. Nothing is 
sent.

That's correct. As I wrote earlier, the IP is converted to a country 
code (e.g. FR) and that is stored locally in one of IRStats2 database 
tables.

If you used a table (like the top 10 requesting countries) then the info 
is rendered outside Google altogether.
