Location permissions enable a user to give an application access to their device’s location data. This can be granted when the app is installed, and it will allow the app to detect the user’s position or track their movements. Location permissions are important for many applications, such as mapping apps or delivery services, but they can also be used maliciously by hackers to exploit users’ personal information. Cyber security measures should always include checking what access is granted to applications with location permissions, as well as monitoring how this data is being used.
