Balance the needs for accurate positioning, relevant alerts and end-user privacy

With the introduction of Enhanced Privacy Filtering, the user is no longer limited to only choosing between country-level or exact location in their privacy settings. Instead, they can specify to either city or region/ state and thereby get a more personalized user experience. This setting also enables the user to receive relevant alerts based on their current location, resolving the issue of irrelevant alerts and information.

Settings:

• By choosing the city level, the end-user’s location will be anonymized to a 20 x 20 km squared area.
• The region /state setting will show only what subregion the user currently is located within. Thereby, no exact GPS coordinates will be given.
• The list of subregions in the platform follows the ISO-3166-2 standard.
• To make admins aware of end-users without an up-to-date location report, those users are now represented by a striped icon. By default, the icon becomes striped after 24 hours, but that setting can easily be changed by the admin.

Privacy Settings for end-user

The end-user can easily set their own privacy level in the Safeture app.
