Risk and Legal Compliance

Network Safeguards

IP addresses in our pool are screened every hour against a database of addresses associated with malicious activity. In the rare case a matching IP is identified, it is automatically removed from our network.

Additionally, our network is built for public web data access. Access to known high-risk websites is restricted by default: malware and criminal sites, piracy, government, banking, and crypto exchanges. Finally, traffic is directed to the public web, not into a connection owner’s local network or devices.

Partner Screening

Before a partner can provide IPs for our network, they have to go through a screening process:

1. Identity verification. Partner’s ID is verified through an independent third-party provider. 2. Business model review. A description of the business model that includes IP acquisition and pool composition is requested. All claims are then verified by our team. 3. Evidence of consent. Suppliers must be able to prove that IPs are acquired with the consent of device owners. 4. Hands-on quality checks. Our team manually verifies claims and statements made, which may include application testing and document reviews.

We implement these practices to minimize risk. Keeping both users and suppliers safe is our main priority.

Refusal of Service

We retain the right to refuse to provide service or to terminate any agreement unilaterally if our team reasonably suspects abusive use cases, false verification information, or any other deception.

We may also request additional documents to verify the identities of individuals or businesses. These requests are necessary to ensure fair and proper usage of our services.

Sourcing Model

Proxy services operate in a complex landscape, and we pay close attention to how our proxies are sourced. We source our proxies through our ethical partner network, applying defined requirements to how IPs are acquired.

For datacenter and ISP proxies, we work with data center and Internet Service Provider partners to provide our clients with a consistent pool of reliable IPs.

We procure residential and mobile proxies through partners, whom we assess on ID verification, business case, technical integration method, and end-user consent requirements.

Partners are also regularly reevaluated to ensure practices have not changed.
