Know Your Customer (KYC) Verification

We verify our customers to protect the network and everyone who relies on it. Verification helps us:

• Confirm that customers are who they say they are;

• Prevent fraud, abuse, and unlawful use of the proxies;

• Meet our legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations, including anti-money-laundering and sanctions requirements;

• Uphold the ethical standards behind how our network is sourced and operated (see our Ethics page at https://proxidize.com/ethics/); and

• Support our information-security commitments, including ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2.

Verification applies to all users who want to access the proxy Services. You must complete identity verification (Tier 1) before you can use the proxies. Access to certain sensitive categories, and to higher usage, requires business verification (Tier 2 / KYB).

Tier 1 (Identity / KYC):

• Who it is for: all users, required for proxy access.

• What you provide: a valid government-issued photo ID, a device with a camera, and your country of residence.

• Connection threads: limited.

• Category access: general web destinations.

• How to complete: self-service in your account.

Tier 2 (Business / KYB):

• Who it is for: businesses that need sensitive categories or higher usage.

• What you provide: business and entity verification details.

• Connection threads: unlimited.

• Category access: unlocks the verification-gated categories below.

• How to complete: contact our sales team.

Requirements. A valid government-issued photo ID, such as a passport, national ID card, or driver’s license, a device with a camera, and your current country of residence.

What to expect. Verification is a short, guided process inside your Proxidize account. You will select your country, photograph your ID, and complete a quick selfie check. Your status will appear as Verify, Verified, Rejected, or Expired. Incomplete verification sessions may expire but can be restarted.

Help Center guides. For an overview of the requirements, process, and verification statuses, see KYC Verification for Proxidize Proxy Users. For detailed step-by-step instructions, see How to Complete KYC Verification.

What Tier 1 gives you. Access to general web destinations, subject to connection-thread limits. Permanently restricted categories remain blocked, and verification-gated categories are not available at this tier.

Moving up. To access verification-gated categories or remove connection-thread limits, upgrade to Tier 2.

Requirements. Verification of your business or legal entity.

What to expect. Our team will review your request, guide you through the business-verification process, and confirm your eligibility for higher usage and access to verification-gated categories.

What Tier 2 gives you. Unlimited connection threads and access to the verification-gated categories listed below. Permanently restricted categories remain blocked at all tiers.

How to start. To begin Tier 2 business verification, follow the instructions in our Help Center guide: How to Request KYB Verification. Our team will review your request and guide you through the remaining steps.

Restricted and Verification-Gated Categories

To keep the network safe and compliant, certain website categories are permanently restricted or require Tier 2 verification:

• Adult: blocked for all users.
• Survey: blocked for all users.
• Government: blocked for all users.
• Military: blocked for all users.
• Financial: requires Tier 2 business verification.
• HR and recruitment: requires Tier 2 business verification.
• Consumer reviews: requires Tier 2 business verification.

These controls apply in addition to our Acceptable Use Policy, which explains how the Services may and may not be used.

If you do not complete Tier 1 identity verification, you will not be able to access the proxy Services. The permanently restricted categories stay blocked regardless of tier, and the verification-gated categories stay blocked until Tier 2 is completed.
