Ethical sourcing
Ethically sourced residential proxies
Consent is the foundation of our network. Every IP in the PI Proxies residential pool comes from a real participant who has independently reviewed and accepted the terms of service of the application they take part in.
Our residential pool is consent-based and opt-in. Participants knowingly agree to share idle bandwidth in exchange for the benefits of the apps and services they use, and each one independently accepts the terms of service before joining the network. No traffic is routed through devices whose owners have not agreed to participate.
We do not build our network from malware, hijacked devices, or hidden background processes. Participation is transparent and revocable - participants can opt out, and we work only with sourcing partners who obtain clear, informed consent. This is the difference between an ethically sourced pool and the resold or opaque sub-networks common among the cheapest providers.
Privacy runs in both directions. We operate zero-log routing, so we do not record the contents or destinations of the traffic you send through the network, and participants' personal data is not exposed to customers. Our approach is designed to align with the principles behind regulations like the GDPR and CCPA, including consent, transparency, and the ability to withdraw.
If you have compliance requirements for your own use of proxies, we encourage you to review our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, and to use the network responsibly and within the terms of the sites and services you access.
