Once again, such a disclaimer must clearly state the agreement of the user.
My proposal is :
Unless you are [[Special:Userlogin|logged in]], by editing Wikipedia you
agree that your edit will be signed with your [[IP address]]. If you are
[[Special:Userlogin|logged in]], by editing Wikipedia you agree that
your edit will be signed with [[Special:Userlogin|logged in]]. In both
cases, you agree that these personal data will be used internally and
publicly available. Please see our [[wikipedia:privacy policy|privacy
policy]].

I'm afraid I don't understand your
objection. My proposed wording says
"Unless you are [[Special:Userlogin|logged in]] your edit will be signed
with your [[IP address]] when you click 'Save'," which explicitly says
your IP address _will_ be made public (signatures are public by
nature) - it's the whole point of the thing. It doesn't say one way or
another whether your IP address will be recorded if you're logged in,
so that's not factually incorrect either. I addressed that in my comment.
It doesn't explicitly say it, it implicitly says it - if you take
"signed" to mean publically. I have never been aware of a signature to
be public.
Your proposed wording also implies that your IP address will not be
"signed" with your edits if you are logged in, which might be true
according to your definition of a signature, but your phrasing is
ambiguous and confusing.
