Effective October 4, 2021, the minimum accuracy radius value will be 5km across
our city/postal-level geolocation products and services. Previously, the minimum
accuracy radius value was 1km. This change applies to the following products and
services:

- GeoIP2 City database
- GeoLite2 City database
- GeoIP2 Enterprise database
- GeoIP2 City Plus web service
- GeoIP2 Insights web service
- minFraud Insights and Factors web services

We are making this change in order to ensure it is clear that IP geolocation
should not be used to identify a particular street address or household.
