MaxMind IP Address Opt-Out

What is the IP Address Opt-Out?

As outlined in MaxMind's Privacy Policy, certain laws and regulations may give you the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information by a business to third parties, subject to certain exceptions as permitted by law. MaxMind may also provide you with the ability to exercise similar options even where it is not legally obligated to do so. To submit an opt-out request, please fill out and submit the form below on this page. For more information about our privacy practices, click here.

MaxMind's IP address intelligence never identifies a household or street address

MaxMind's IP address intelligence products associate IP addresses with a postal code or larger geographic region, but never identify a household or street address. When MaxMind provides a latitude and longitude location, it is a point in or close to the applicable postal code or larger geographic region but in a public location such as a lake or public park. The accuracy radius of this data is 5km or more. Click here for an overview of IP geolocation data.

Submitting an Opt-Out Request may in some cases lead to service interruptions

As MaxMind's IP address intelligence services are used by thousands of businesses worldwide, please be aware that opting out of sale from MaxMind's services may mean that online businesses might be unable to determine where you are located, and in some cases they may block logins or other features that may impede your use of their service. For example, you might be blocked from logging into a password manager or from streaming certain content online. If you choose to opt out of the sale, you may submit a request to opt in. Please contact MaxMind directly at privacy@maxmind.com to submit an opt-in request.

Required *

When you click the Submit button, the webform will automatically collect the IP address currently associated with your device and include it in your opt-out request. If you use multiple IP addresses, you will need to access this webform from each IP address for which you wish to make an opt-out request.

Please note that when you opt out of a sale, your IP address may be placed on a Do Not Sell list available to our customers through their accounts. Account holders are prohibited from using information on the list for any purpose other than to effectuate your request.
