# Device data collection

When combined with order and transaction details, device data (IP Address, Device Id, Geolocation Information, etc.) can be a strong indicator for fraud or used via GeoIP lookup to create manual rules based on location. Utilizing device data with Access Exemptions is a two-step process. Step one is to collect the device data. Step two is to submit an [assessment](/products/sca-exemptions/assessment) that will use the device data for evaluation.
