IP-address is considered personal data. So when the browsers visits a page with the JS, the IP-address of the user is transferred to your server. So that means the website I am visiting is sharing my IP-address with a third-party (you).

The IP address isn't stored though.

I don't think that is relevant. What matters is that it is transferred to a third-party. And regardless if it is stored in a database, the servers are still processing the data (and maybe storing the log of it).

At least under GDPR the relevant question is if it is stored and who it is shared with. So if it is not stored/shared then it should be fine legally.
