Abstract

The increase in location-based applications makes protecting personal location information a major challenge. Users must be able to control their location privacy but should be able to do so without constant interventionýthat is, they should be freed from having to click ýoký whenever an application requests access to their location information. The article describes a system that lets users automate control of their location information, thereby minimizing the extent to which the system intrudes on their lives.
