My IP ↗Privacy Detection API
Accurately Identify VPNs, Proxies, and Anonymizing Services
IPinfo's Privacy Detection API detects various methods used to hide a user's IP address, including VPN detection, proxy detection, Tor, private relays, or a connection via a hosting provider, which could potentially be used to tunnel traffic, and mask the true IP address.
Our Privacy detection API is crucial for businesses due to the increasing use of VPNs, proxies, and other anonymizing technologies. These tools, while legitimate for many users, can also be exploited by bad actors to mask fraudulent activities, bypass geographic restrictions, or launch cyber attacks.

Why Accurate Privacy Data Matters
By implementing robust privacy detection measures, businesses can enhance their security posture, protect against financial losses, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain the integrity of their services. This technology enables companies to make more informed decisions about user access, customize content delivery, optimize ad targeting based on geolocation, and prevent abuse of their platforms. Moreover, as cyber threats continue to evolve, privacy detection becomes an essential component of a comprehensive risk management strategy, allowing businesses to stay one step ahead of potential threats and provide a safer, more trustworthy environment for their legitimate users. Ultimately, effective privacy detection not only protects a company's bottom line, but also enhances user experience and builds trust with customers who value security and transparency.
