# IP Collecting

The IP Collecting setting allows you to store the IP address of each tested user to improve tracking accuracy, enable geo-location insights, and enhance debugging during test analysis.

***

### How it works

* When enabled, Optibase stores the IP address of each user who participates in a test.
* Collected IPs are viewable in the Events screen of the app.
* This feature helps with:
  * More accurate location-based testing
  * Debugging and isolating unusual traffic
  * Enhanced filtering and segmentation of data

***

### How to enable

1. Go to Workspace Settings
2. Click IP Collecting from the menu
3. Toggle the Collect IP addresses option on or off

You can turn this feature off at any time by unchecking the toggle.

***

### Privacy Note

Be mindful of data privacy regulations (like GDPR) when enabling IP tracking. If you’re unsure, consult your legal team to confirm compliance based on your region or audience.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.optibase.io/features/general/ip-collecting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
