Instead of using the results consider asking the user to share their location via device APIs such as GPS and then using reverse geocoding, or enter their postal address manually.

The randomization is applied during data file generation, so the value returned for a given IP address is stable across all lookups against the same data file and only changes when a new data file is published. This guarantees the coordinates cannot be classified as personal data. No other property is affected.

IPInfo's `radius` field expresses accuracy as a numeric kilometer figure; the closest categorical 51Degrees equivalent is `LocationConfidence`, which complements the numeric `AccuracyRadiusMax` and `AccuracyRadiusMin` properties.
