Privacy and location-based services
Location-based services (LBSs) use geographic information to provide a variety of benefits to users—most ubiquitously, through users’ mobile devices (phones and smart wearables). While such information offers value—through navigation apps, for example—it contains troves of personal data that can be exploited against users.
