“…Similarly, Ataei et al [ 9 ] see privacy as a user-interface concern, which users can handle with more user-friendly controls. Stroeken et al [ 179 ], in contrast, address the issue in their social network application by moving away from the conventional person -based webpages to a topic based or “place” based digital notice board, one of the most promising approaches to anonymization, and a classical LAS approach, which would not depend on a web-based service implementation.…”

With the CoViD-19 pandemic, location awareness technologies have seen renewed interests due to the numerous contact tracking mobile application variants developed, deployed, and discussed. For some, location-aware applications are primarily a producer of geospatial Big Data required for vital geospatial analysis and visualization of the spread of the disease in a state of emergency. For others, comprehensive tracking of citizens constitutes a dangerous violation of fundamental rights. Commercial web-based location-aware applications both collect data and—through spatial analysis and connection to services—provide value to users. This value is what motivates users to share increasingly private and comprehensive data. The willingness of users to share data in return for services has been a key concern with web-based variants of the technology since the beginning. With a focus on two privacy preserving CoViD-19 contact tracking applications, this survey walks through the key steps of developing a privacy preserving context-aware application: from types of applications and business models, through architectures and privacy strategies, to representations.

“…As a practical example of a privacy through data management implementation, Stroeken et al (2015) developed a privacy preserving location-based service called Zone-it, a virtual notice board which permits users to have location-based interaction in self-zoning areas and under certain categories. The service places offers and requests with their exact coordinates on a map.…”

“…Zone-it is a social media service, which shifts the focus from person-based (e.g. Facebook) to goal-oriented communication (Stroeken et al, 2015). On a more technical level, several of the approaches listed above have successfully been implemented.…”

“…For example, Rinner et al (2005) compared two UI designs for location-based decision services and concluded that the MCE (multi-criteria evaluation) method, the degree of detail in criterion weighting, and the availability of user-defined criterion standardization are important parameters for easy-to-use location-based decision services. Stroeken et al (2015) proposed two interfaces to visualize spatial and temporal information about events (e.g. cultural happenings) of interest to a user: the CLOCK-view and the NEAR-view.…”

“…The relevance of the proposed UI based on social, temporal and spatial adjustments were also presented in our results. Early studies such as Scipioni and Langheinrich (2011) and Stroeken et al (2015) have pointed out the importance of such factors in protecting location privacy. Our approach is different in that 1) we gathered three factors and 2) presented them as an accessible UI at the Operating System level.…”

Location data privacy : principles to practice

Location data is essential to the provision of relevant and tailored information in location-based services (LBS) but has the potential to reveal sensitive information about users. Unwanted disclosure of location data is associated with various threats known as dataveillance which can lead to risks like loss of control, (continuous) monitoring, identification, and social profiling. Striking a balance between providing a service based on the user's location while protecting their (location) privacy is thus a key challenge in this area. Although many solutions have been developed to mitigate the data privacy-related threats, the aspects involving users (i.e. User Interfaces (UI)) and the way in which location data management can affects (location) data privacy have not received much attention in the literature. This thesis develops and evaluates approaches to facilitate the design and development of privacy-aware LBS. This work has explicitly focused on three areas: location data management in LBS, the design of UI for LBS, and compliance with (location) data privacy regulation. To address location data management, this thesis proposes modifications to LBS architectures and introduces the concept of temporal and spatial ephemerality as an alternative way to manage location privacy. The modifications include adding two components to the LBS architecture: one component dedicated to the management of decisions regarding collected location data such as applying restriction on the time that the service provider stores the data; and one component for adjusting location data privacy settings for the users of LBS. This thesis then develops a set of UI controls for fine-grained management of location privacy settings based on privacy theory (Westin), privacy by design principles and general UI design principles. Finally, this thesis brings forth a set of guidelines for the design and development of privacy-aware LBS through the analysis of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and expert recommendations. Service providers, designers, and developers of LBS can benefit from the contributions of this work as the proposed architecture and UI model can help them to recognise and address privacy issues during the LBS development process. The developed guidelines, on the other hand, can be helpful when developers and designers face difficulties understanding (location) data privacy-related regulations. The guidelines include both a list of legal requirements derived from GDPR's text and expert suggestions for developers and designers of LBS in the process of complying with data privacy regulation.
