1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
a network interface configured to communicate with the Internet;
a processor; and
one or more memories storing instructions that when executed by the processor implement:
a managing unit configured to manage mapping information in which user information and region information are associated;
a collation unit configured to, in a case where a region specifying request which includes user information specifying a user is received from a client terminal via the network interface, collate the mapping information of the managing unit; and
a response unit configured to,
in a case where a collation result of the collation unit indicates that user information that corresponds to the user information specifying the user included in the region specifying request is present in the mapping information, send, to the client terminal, region information that corresponds to the user information that is present in the mapping information as a response, and
in a case where the collation result of the collation unit indicates that the user information that corresponds to the user information specifying the user included in the region specifying request is not present in the mapping information, send, to the client terminal, mendacious region information as the response.
