Labrador Ingeniería location privacy location tracking location obfuscation points of interest search private information retrieval Location services have become popular over the last years due to the global adoption of smartphones and the worldwide availability of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and other positioning methods. Location- based services ( LBS s) offer relevant information to users based on their location. Some common applications of LBS s are traffic or public transpor - tation information, search of points of interest (restaurants, stores, etc.), navigation, among others. Despite all the desirable features that these services provide, most of them do not provide adequate protection of the geographical location of the users, putting them at risk if their information falls in wrong hands.
