Subdivision, city, and postal fields blanked in additional countries

January 6, 2026

Effective tomorrow, Wednesday, January 7, 2026, we will be blanking out the city and postal fields more often for cell networks in the following countries:

  • Argentina
  • Australia
  • Germany
  • France
  • Japan
  • Poland
  • Spain
  • Turkey

We will also be blanking out the subdivision, city, and postal fields more often in:

  • Finland
  • Switzerland

This change is to reduce false positives when the end users of a network are dispersed all over the subdivision or country.

The update will be reflected in the following products and services:

  • GeoIP City database
  • GeoIP Enterprise database
  • GeoIP City Plus web service
  • GeoIP Insights web service
