Abstract:
Technologies for location privacy management include a mobile computing device to determine whether an application is authorized to obtain the location of the mobile computing device based on a determined location and location access policy of the mobile computing device. The location access policy includes policy rules that identify whether the application is authorized to obtain the location of the mobile computing device. If the mobile computing device determines that the application is not authorized to obtain the location of the mobile computing device, the mobile computing device blocks the application from obtaining the location.
