Summary

Bright Data operates the world's largest Residential Proxy IP Network, allowing companies to simulate real user activity worldwide for purposes such as ad verification, price comparison, and website testing. The network is composed of real-user IPs acquired through the Bright SDK, which app developers can integrate into their applications. Users can opt-in to the network instead of viewing ads, receiving a better app experience, while developers earn compensation from Bright Data. Participation requires that devices be idle, connected to the internet, and sufficiently charged. The SDK ensures user data privacy and has reportedly boosted app installs and user engagement. Bright Data's network is entirely opt-in and trusted by major corporations, with ongoing efforts to expand partnerships with Windows and Android applications.
