In most circumstances, the technology is neutral because its goal is to propagate a message. HTTP logs are not privacy invasive, but their records on a long term might become privacy invasive.

The strategy is then becoming a question such as

* may I access to the information I created?
* may I record it myself (locally)?
* am I able to have actions on this personal record?
* may I block partly or totally the record of the information?
  (think about geolocation API)
* may I fake it?
  (think about fuzzy geolocation or voluntary fake location)

In the case of Ambient events, the first privacy issue we could raise, does the API provide a mechanism (messaging channel) to block and/or modify the information at the user level.
