Dropbox API returning obfuscated data

I am using the Dropbox API to programmatically pull Team events. Certain fields are coming back anonymized, such as source IP address and user email.

 

I created an app for accessing the API and gave it the following permissions:
- account_info.read

- team_data.member

- events.read

 

Do I need to enable an additional permission to enable non-obfuscated data? Or is this how Dropbox API always returns certain fields?

    For the sake of privacy, some fields for some events are redacted like that. This is not a matter of your app's permissions and cannot be unredacted.
