What in the World? A focused episode on location data

Send us a text

On this week of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal of Crawford & Company dive deep into the topic of location data, which is considered sensitive personal data and is often not disclosed in many apps. We talk about geopositioning satellites, a journalist investigation into the Polar's fitness app, transparency reports on responses to government requests, such as this one by TMobile, and creative uses such as tracking saguaro cacti in Arizona and raising money for No Kid Hungry. (and a bonus on Beyonce's Texas Hold Em in honor of K’s session with Maggie Gloeckle and Ashley Slavik at IAPP Global Privacy Summit in DC and the LGBTQ party with Ron de Jesus themed on Alice in Wonderland... where K might just leverage a little cosplay on the Queen of Heart of Privacy.
