Ethical sourcing & usage

Decodo gets its residential proxies by partnering with verified providers who run peer-to-peer networks where users voluntarily share their internet connections for rewards. Before any IPs enter Decodo's pool, the providers make sure users explicitly consent and understand what their connection will be used for. We only work with providers who handle thorough verification processes and offer clear information about data collection, ensuring people aren't unknowingly part of the network.

For usage, Decodo runs every new customer through automated fraud checks, and when needed, KYC processes, and third-party screening. Decodo also actively blocks access to sensitive targets like banking sites, government portals, streaming platforms, app stores, and ticketing services.

Flowchart shows layered verification steps in stacked boxes: “LAYERED VERIFICATION,” “Registration,” “Automated checks” with “Internal checks at registration,” and “Anti-fraud screening” with “KYC/ID verification when needed.”

Responsible customer verification process

Decodo uses a layered customer verification approach to reduce fraud while keeping onboarding friction low for legitimate users. Every new customer first goes through automated internal checks at registration, followed by third-party anti-fraud screening to assess intended proxy use at a high level.

When needed, additional KYC/ID verification steps are applied and reviewed through a secure third-party provider to ensure alignment with Decodo’s policies. Once checks are completed, customers can proceed with purchases and service usage without unnecessary delays.
