I'd be very cautious about engaging with any company whose business model is to get a short-term lease of your IP-space. Many companies use IP reputation data, and so you are essentially lending that reputation to a 3rd party, who may use it in ways you don't anticipate until the reputation is sufficiently damaged, and then return it to you and move on to another ISP.
Hi Mike, They explain what they're doing in their documentation and for what it's worth they're probably telling the truth. Their business model is to facilitate pseudonymous web scraping. If you want to anonymously check out your competitors' pricing (anb automate it), you do it by accessing your competitors' web site through DiviNetworks' tunneled transits around the globe. https://divinetworks.com/nature-of-the-traffic/ So, if you're Cogent and you want to gather business data from ARIN....
