A Guide to Using Proxy Services in the GDPR Era

Since the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect in 2018, many countries have introduced similar regulations, imposing strict requirements on the collection, processing, and storage of data. As proxy IPs serve as a critical infrastructure for cross-border business, their compliant use has increasingly come into focus.

Key Compliance Considerations for Proxy Services

When using proxy services, businesses need to pay attention to the following compliance issues:

Legitimacy of data sources

Choose a compliant proxy service provider to ensure that the provider's IP resources come from legitimate channels.

Data collection practices

Purpose of collection: Price monitoring, market research, ad verification, and other legitimate business purposes.

Scope of data: Collect only the data that is necessary, avoiding excessive collection.

Usage restrictions: Do not use the collected data for purposes unrelated to the original intent.
