Show local events, display prices in the right currency, offer relevant deals, and adjust languages without asking users to set preferences manually.
Secure your platform and users
Use threat signals like VPN and proxy identification to catch suspicious activity early. Block bad actors from creating fake accounts, abusing free trials, or submitting fraudulent orders.
Prevent fraud and abuse
Use hosting provider and ASN detection to recognize cloud hosts, data centers, and anonymized sources of traffic. Apply smarter rate limits, block scraping attempts, or separate human users from bots based on network behavior.
Enforce regional compliance
Detect where your users are connecting from to meet tax laws, privacy regulations, and content licensing agreements. Automatically calculate VAT or GST, trigger GDPR or CCPA prompts, or block access to restricted content when needed.
