General Questions

What is Proxy.ID?

Proxy.ID is a comprehensive digital identity protection service that provides proxy information templates to shield your personal data from unnecessary exposure online. We offer a suite of privacy services including secure email forwarding, SMS verification, domain protection, and legal consultation related to privacy matters.

Is using proxy information legal?

Yes, using proxy information for privacy protection is legal when done for legitimate purposes. Our services are designed to protect your privacy without facilitating illegal activities such as fraud or impersonation. The key distinction is the intent—using proxy information for privacy protection rather than deception or to circumvent legal obligations.

How is Proxy.ID different from using fake information?

Unlike randomly generated fake information, Proxy.ID provides legitimately registered and functional proxy details. Our proxy information is verified, maintained, and supported by our infrastructure, allowing you to receive communications, verify accounts, and function normally in digital spaces while keeping your real personal information private. We create a secure channel between your proxy identity and your real identity, rather than simply fabricating false details.

Proxy.ID is beneficial for anyone concerned about their online privacy, including:

  • Individuals looking to minimize their digital footprint
  • Professionals who want to separate personal and work identities
  • Public figures requiring enhanced privacy protection
  • Businesses protecting corporate information
  • Privacy-conscious users who want to reduce data collection and tracking
  • People concerned about identity theft and data breaches

Security & Privacy

How secure is my real personal information with Proxy.ID?

We implement industrial-grade security measures to protect your real personal information:

  • End-to-end encryption for all stored personal data
  • Multi-factor authentication for account access
  • Regular security audits by independent third parties
  • Strict access controls and staff vetting procedures
  • Compliance with international data protection regulations
  • Zero-knowledge architecture for sensitive data

We collect only the information necessary to provide our services and never sell or share your real personal information with third parties.

What data does Proxy.ID collect about me?

To provide our services, we collect:

  • Basic contact information to set up your account and communicate with you
  • Payment information for billing purposes (processed securely through our payment providers)
  • Your real contact details for forwarding services (encrypted and accessible only through secure channels)
  • Service usage statistics to improve our offerings

For a complete breakdown of our data practices, please review our Privacy Policy.

What happens if Proxy.ID receives a legal request for my information?

If we receive a valid legal request or court order for information:

  • We will promptly notify you of the request unless legally prohibited from doing so
  • Our legal team will review each request to ensure it complies with applicable laws
  • We will only provide the specific information legally required
  • We maintain a transparency report of all government and legal requests

We balance our commitment to your privacy with our legal obligations, always prioritizing the protection of your data within the boundaries of the law.

Can my proxy information be traced back to me?

Our systems are designed to maintain separation between your proxy information and your real identity. The connection between your proxy and real information is:

  • Encrypted with advanced cryptographic methods
  • Stored in separate secure databases
  • Protected by multiple layers of authentication
  • Accessible only through your secure account

This separation makes it extremely difficult for third parties to trace your proxy information back to your real identity without direct access to our secure systems.

Account Management

How do I set up my Proxy.ID account?

Setting up your Proxy.ID account is straightforward:

  1. Visit our website and click "Get Started"

Can I have multiple proxy identities?

Yes, depending on your plan, you can maintain multiple proxy identities for different purposes:

  • Standard plans include one proxy identity
  • Premium plans support 2-3 separate proxy identities
  • Business plans offer customizable multi-identity options

Each proxy identity is fully isolated from the others, allowing you to maintain separate digital presences for different aspects of your life (e.g., personal, professional, hobby-related).

What happens to communications sent to my proxy information?

Communications sent to your proxy information are handled according to your preferences:

  • Emails are filtered for spam, scanned for security threats, and forwarded to your real email or held in your secure dashboard
  • Physical mail is received at our secure facilities, scanned, and made available in your dashboard (with optional forwarding to your real address)
  • SMS messages are captured and displayed in your dashboard with optional real-time notifications
  • Phone calls can be directed to voicemail, screened, or forwarded based on your plan and preferences

You can customize handling rules for different types of communications through your account dashboard.

How do I troubleshoot login issues?

If you're experiencing login issues:

  1. Verify you're using the correct email address and password
  2. Check if Caps Lock is enabled
  3. Clear your browser cookies and cache
  4. Ensure your browser is updated to the latest version
  5. Try an alternative supported browser
  6. Check your internet connection

  1. Click "Forgot Password" on the login page
  2. Enter your registered email address
  3. Follow the instructions in the password reset email

For persistent login issues, contact our support team with your account email and any error messages you're receiving.

Why am I not receiving emails from my proxy address?

If you're not receiving emails sent to your proxy address, check these common issues:

  1. Verify your forwarding settings in your dashboard
  2. Check your spam/junk folder
  3. Ensure your real email provider isn't blocking our forwarding domain
  4. Confirm your email filters aren't intercepting forwarded messages
  5. Check if the sender is on your block list
  6. Verify the email was actually sent (ask the sender to check their sent items)

You can also view all received emails directly in your Proxy.ID dashboard, regardless of forwarding status. If you can see the email in your dashboard but not in your real inbox, the issue is likely with the forwarding process or your email provider's filtering.

  • Some proxy details (like email addresses and phone numbers) cannot be changed directly but must be replaced with new ones
  • Changes may take up to 24 hours to propagate through all systems
