Is Apache reporting back to the apache foundation about how you are using your apache software? Maybe your expectations about user tracking are the problem.
I'm pretty sure they aren't, but I must admit, I have never checked. I supposed that would be known by now... One thing is sure, access logs are located on my own VM, and are processed locally by awstats. The only thing that binds requests to an actual user is the IP address, and one must contact ISPs to have more information. I don't have the authority to do that.
