Abstract: The present disclosure describes devices and methods for an anonymized tracking service. In particular, devices and methods are described for a third party system that allows a user to selectively opt-in to wireless location tracking at specific stores. The anonymized tracking service may include a third party, a third party server system, a mobile device, and one or more store computing systems. In one aspect, a third-party (e.g., not associated with a store) mobile application may be downloaded onto a mobile device of a user. The mobile application provides a central control unit that allows the user to select which stores have permission to track the location of the user within a building associated with the store. In some embodiments, the central control unit may also allow a user to select which type or how much additional information the store may collect and save.
