Privacy & Applications

Privacy Consideration

UUID1 includes MAC address information, which could potentially be used for tracking. For privacy-sensitive applications, consider using UUID4 or UUID7.

Best Use Cases

  • Legacy system integration
  • Timestamp-based ordering
  • Distributed systems coordination
  • Hardware-based uniqueness
  • Event logging with timeline
