KYC Policy

Setting the standard for the web intelligence industry

Oxylabs stands as an intermediary between the publicly available internet and businesses, providing the latter with web intelligence collection tools. Our goal is to protect both sides of the equation from any potential abuse through our extensive Know-Your-Customer (KYC) policy and risk management practices.

Bringing the best practices from other industries

Oxylabs KYC policy and practices are based upon leaders in other sectors such as banking and finance, allowing us to harness the multiple decades of experience and apply it to the web intelligence acquisition industry.

Stopping malicious actors in their tracks

All solutions have the potential for abuse, therefore Oxylabs takes great care in protecting our own assets and the internet at large from any potentially malicious activity. Our KYC ensures that all usage is ethical and in line with our Acceptable Use Policy that protects the industry from abuse.
