Where You Go Matters: A Study on the Privacy Implications of Continuous Location Tracking
summary
Mobile app TrackingAdvisor continuously collects iOS background locations (asks permission to always track), extracts stay points, matches them to Foursquare places on a backend, then infers labels (home, work, religion, health, socio‑economic, political, social activities) that users confirm, correct, or delete and rate for privacy sensitivity. Findings show social activities rate low while health, religion, ethnicity, political views and socio‑economic status rate high and users vary widely, motivating personalized privacy controls.
