About

MaxMind, creator of GeoIP® and minFraud®, was founded in 2002 with a vision to make the internet a safer, smarter place by empowering people and businesses to solve the world’s digital challenges using non-invasive, accurate data.

With its people-focused approach, and security, accuracy, and affordability at the core of its values, the company has grown to become the leading provider of IP geolocation and online fraud detection tools, and the first company to offer both.

Trusted by software developers worldwide, and made simple for businesses to integrate, thousands of organizations rely on MaxMind for fraud prevention, internet security, content customization, advertising, digital rights management, compliance, and user experience optimization.

MaxMind is committed to offering a free version of its GeoIP data, and continues to donate over 60% of profits to charities.
