They don't either collect the IP. They receive it, simply because a network communication has to take place, but they don't store it. And while they do collect your browsing history in fuzzied form, it's intermixed with other people's browsing history, therefore cannot either be used to identify you.
And yes, at the end of the day, it's up to the Datenschutzbeauftragte and the courts to decide, but I really do think that you delude yourself, if you believe this will go anywhere. They'd have locked up the entirety of Google and Microsoft multiple times already.
