- 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.

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]].
