- **High** confidence results can be relied upon and considered useful for all practical purposes.

- **Medium** confidence results might be useful where the use case can tolerate a degree of inaccuracy.
- **Medium** confidence results might be useful where the use case can tolerate a degree of imprecision.

- **Low** or **Unknown** confidence results should be discarded when the results might be used to make consequential decisions. 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. Subsequent processing may also be similar to handling an exception when obtaining the result.

**Coordinate randomization**: 51Degrees randomizes `Latitude` and `Longitude` within around 1 km of the true average location for the IP range. 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. See [Randomization](@ref IpIntelligence_Features_Randomization).

**Location confidence**: 51Degrees rolls up location certainty into a single string-valued `LocationConfidence` property covering the town and country. 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. See the [property dictionary](https://51degrees.com/developers/property-dictionary) for the set of possible values.
