geo-fenced

Digitally territory-limited

Geo-fenced describes something restricted or triggered by a virtual geographic boundary.

Digital services use geo-fencing to limit access by location: The streaming content is geo-fenced to the United States.

Retailers send geo-fenced notifications when customers enter a defined area.

The technology relies on GPS or cellular data to detect when devices cross invisible perimeters.
