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
