Abstract

Location-based services play a vital role in our daily lives. While these services enhance user convenience, user’s privacy is at risk because they lead to a rapid surge in collecting and utilizing location information for a user. In this paper, we design and implement an application that securely records and manages user location information. We enhance the privacy protection aspect concerning location information by providing some features. Utilizing Room DB, we store collected personal location information in the user's local database instead of the server of the location-based service provider. Furthermore, user can initiate and terminate recording at their discretion, thereby enhancing the protection of personal information related to location data. User‘s unease regarding their movement paths is reduced by empowering them to have control over their own location information.
