Re: Geofencing and privacy

As long as the user understands that this location service doesn’t have an off switch inside the webapp, the user needs to be able to revoke an app from this persistent service independently of the app.

Hello All, 



Please excuse me, if i am being a bit naive here in my comments. ISO/IEC 29100 and ISO/IEC 29101 specify a privacy framework/architecture for ICT systems, which I believe encompasses the work of the W3. Has W3 thought about addressing these aspects of PII as their design principles. I do not see a normative reference to this work done by ISO/IEC.

I don’t want to sound excessively negative, but I have a hard time believing you can design any aspect of this without solving how you are going to handle the very hard privacy considerations.  The mechanics of the design seem a lot simpler, and are likely to be heavily affected.
