Mass-scale location-based services: 5 tips for choosing the right partner

Individuals’ location data are used to provide location-based services. These location data have four dimensions: latitude, longitude, altitude (or x, y, z), and time, indicating a user's location at a specific time. There are several mechanisms inside a typical mobile device that can provide location information. The most common are GPS, RFID, Wi-Fi, cellular technology, and beacons.

Rule 1: Respect for privacy

Fully respecting the privacy of mobile subscribers is a critical component when selecting a partner,to comply with GDPR. Anonymisation of big data is complex, so you need to pay attention to your partner’s processes. As a European-based player, one of our core principles, at Intersec, is to enforce safe data sharing practices:

• Privacy by design: pseudonymization, aliasing, and k-anonymization, the process for testing, advanced access rights, and credential management
• Consent and data management>: consent management (opt-in/opt-out/withdraw), granular tracking of customers’ consents
• Data breach and data prevention: preventative and corrective actions, data Breach Response and notification procedure, auditing capabilities
