3. Geo-Blocking & Regional Availability

The website performs automated geolocation checks to determine regional service availability. These checks operate at two levels:

These checks are executed transiently and are not stored, logged, or retained by esim.co.

No personal data is collected, profiled, or used for marketing purposes as part of this process.
