Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes providing a user interface on an internet-protocol (IP) connected mobile device, the user interface configured to receive a user input corresponding to one or more data privacy parameters for geo-location data, and controlling a transferring of geo-location data to and from each of a plurality of mobile applications on the mobile device based on the user input. A change in one or more of the data privacy parameters can change how geo-location data is provided to each of the plurality of applications and can affect location data accuracy, location data reporting frequency, geo-functions, and more. The user interface can be configured to allow a user to view, manage, and delete a personal location history. Furthermore, one or more profiles can be associated with one or more of the plurality of mobile applications, where each of the one or more profiles is assigned individual data privacy parameters.
