Rigo is correct. We need to define geo-location to make the spec reflect the mobile data tracking system sent by mobile device. excuse typos please On Jun 18, 2013, at 1:47 PM, Shane Wiley <wileys@yahoo-inc.com> wrote: > Rigo, > > I believe the issue here is scope. As we're nearing consensus (perhaps not) on the collection and use of data across non-affiliated web sites as a definition for tracking, the question is where does precise geolocation fit in that definition? There are many privacy issues to solve for in the online world - DNT will help advance user privacy in a meaningful way for its scope. I understand the allure of wanting to "pile on" in this process but I'd suggest we manage this in a different forum (perhaps a different W3C WG on Location data). > > - Shane > > -----Original Message----- > From: Rigo Wenning [mailto:rigo@w3.org] > Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 10:35 AM > To: Amy Colando (LCA) > Cc: public-tracking@w3.org; Shane Wiley; David Singer > Subject: Re: Geolocation > > Amy, > > we still need a minimum limitation on geolocation. Whatever self regulation you chose that is better will fulfill also DNT requirements. > But we can't just say that the most sensitive type of data is out of scope. Only because its hard, doesn't mean we can get around it. That doesn't mean I support the current language.
