We don’t rely on a single source, but instead combine multiple signals and continually refine their data. We gather latency and network measurements through the [Probe Network](https://ipinfo.io/probenet), IP allocation data from regional internet registries (RIRs) and WHOIS, BGP routing data that shows which networks are announcing specific IP ranges, and anonymized [ground truth](https://community.ipinfo.io/t/measuring-geolocation-accuracy-with-ground-truth-dataset/1717) signals. We also use reverse DNS naming patterns and known cloud or hosting region info to improve precision. > Are there specific data sources or algorithms involved? There are plenty of specific data sources and algorithms to help us. > How often is the location data updated, and what factors affect precision? Our IP geolocation is updted daily. > What factors affect precision? Take a look at this blog: [How Accurate is IP Address Location?
