Abstract

One or more embodiments of techniques or systems for location tracking are provided herein. A system for location tracking may be utilized to track or determine one or more locations for one or more devices of one or more users. A tracking system or control component may be utilized to access or initiate requests for location tracking, such as for legitimate purposes or business reasons. For example, a system for location tracking may be implemented as an application or tracking application installed on a mobile device or a device or a user. A device may transmit a key to a third party and encrypted location data to a tracking entity. The application may have a front-end interface (e.g., for users being tracked) and a back-end interface (e.g., for users initiating tracking). In this manner, location tracking is provided while promoting privacy and safety.
