Scope
Precisely identify covered apps, devices, and geographic granularity; distinguish real-time tracking from aggregated location history to avoid ambiguous permissions and downstream disputes.
A written Geolocation Data Use Agreement documents informed consent, narrows permitted uses, and creates an auditable record for compliance. Clear terms reduce privacy and legal risk, help manage vendor relationships, and make dispute resolution and regulatory reporting straightforward.
Organizations across real estate, healthcare, transportation, and technology use this agreement to manage location data permissions and obligations.
Adopt consistent templates for business units that collect location information to ensure uniform consent capture and enforceable controls across vendors and partners.
Precisely identify covered apps, devices, and geographic granularity; distinguish real-time tracking from aggregated location history to avoid ambiguous permissions and downstream disputes.
List exact elements collected (latitude/longitude with precision, timestamps, device IDs, Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth signals, derived metadata) and whether altitude or floor-level data are captured.
Describe the consent mechanism, wording shown to users, whether consent is opt-in or contractual, how consent is recorded, and the withdrawal procedure to support attribution.
Limit processing to stated purposes (navigation, analytics, safety, fraud prevention), prohibit undisclosed secondary uses, and name authorized third-party recipients and subprocessors.
Require administrative and technical safeguards such as transport encryption (TLS 1.2/1.3), encryption at rest (AES-256), access control, and logging to protect location data.
Specify retention periods by data category, deletion or anonymization triggers, and obligations to preserve data for legal holds or regulatory claims.
