Abstract
A hybrid location service maintains a user state for each of a plurality of mobile devices communicably coupled to the hybrid location service via one or more networks. The hybrid location service can receive a request for a location of a mobile device. In response, the hybrid location service can determine a consent source. The consent source can include the mobile device or a network operator of the network used by the mobile device. The hybrid location service determines a response to the request for the location of the mobile device based, at least in part, on a user state of the mobile device and a user consent obtained from the consent source.
