Comprehensive Privacy Management
Users can visit http://veriplace.com at any time and can trust that their location is used exactly and only how they intend.
Veriplace is based on the principle that security and privacy are best achieved through transparency. Users can and should be able to see and control everything related to their location, including not only who can access their location, but also how their location can be accessed, and when it was accessed historically.
Some of the many scenarios Veriplace supports:
- A friend finding application can be allowed conditional access to location when acting "on behalf of" a user's friend.
- An advertising/coupon service can be allowed unconditional access to a user's location, but only at reduced specificity or at certain times of day.
- A local search service can be allowed access to a user's location, but only for a single use or session.
Privacy management should be easy and flexible, giving users the control to enjoy emerging and useful applications without compromising their privacy.
