Location Privacy - BETA

Just click on a link that points to a location, and LocationPrivacy will show up as one of the options. If you select it, then it will use the most private way possible to get the location from that link. It will then forward the location to the map app that you choose. LocationPrivacy is not really app but rather a set of "privacy filters" for all of the various ways of sharing location. When you click on a location link in one app, LocationPrivacy offers itself as an option. It then recognizes insecure methods of sharing location, and then converts them to the most private methods available. For many links, the location can be read without even going online. For others, LocationPrivacy reads the location from the webpage via Tor, so that it cannot be tracked to you. Whenever possible, the connection uses HTTPS.
OsmAnd is the recommended map app for private location because it works fully offline and we have audited it. LocationPrivacy will work with basically all map apps. LocationPrivacy can also serve as a way to redirect all location links to your favorite mapping app. All map apps in Android can view `geo:` URIs, and LocationPrivacy converts many kinds of links to `geo:` URIs, including: Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Amap, Baidu Map, QQ Map, Nokia HERE, Yandex Maps.

This is still a beta release of a new idea, if you have problems or ideas, please post them on our issue tracker so we can improve this app!https://dev.guardianproject.info/projects/panic/issues/new

Needs an update. Crashing even on the example Google URL in the About dialog.

As always but updates needed .... Guardians are Missing ... Guardian of Galaxy...

Not very effective or easy to use

Chr. R. Jan 18, 2017     

I like the idea, but still uncertain as to when it's likely to be called. I've had it 10 months now and it's never shown as an option.

Ars. Mar 10, 2018     

Please explain with few examples.. unable to understand the purpose clearly.

A specific kind of privacy protection that nothing else currently offers.

Jak. r. Oct 24, 2015     

I opened the app, and there's an information about the app, and a link. I opened the link (on chrome), and it just opened a map. I really don't know how to use it please help me out.

This is definitely a good idea in principle. However, after having it installed for two weeks I didn't get a single request to use it.

Gre. K. Aug 14, 2015     

Will be useful once it works properly. Don't use this as anything more than a beta test at this point.

Nom. N. Oct 21, 2015     

Thanks to guardian project for their constant efforts in helping the people. This is beta version; I hope to see lots of 5 star ratings and a finished product soon.

Great Idea, Please Stick With It! Just Needs Some Devoted Development to Become another Guardian first class App. Namaste Mr. MD

I don't know how it works, there is no "help" button or any other explanation. I thought it's useful as it's from Guardian.

eno. a. Jul 22, 2015     

On need to know bases if you need to know where I am.

RIC. D. Jan 23, 2016     

Hard to feel "protected" when giving out so much in the way of permissions.

Apo. C. Mar 16, 2018     

Doesn't work 95% of the time
