How SoSporty has dealt with Privacy issues:
Referring to the previous post about different privacy issues associated with LBS. here what our application aims to do.
- Controlling how much and what activities can the user sees cooperate with his convenience and availability around him/her. But it is also an option according to if the user enables the positioning function or not.
- Gaining the trust is by adding the user another person as a friend, then it will allow him/her to see if he/she has joined a certain sports activity or not.
- For tracking others, that is not possible in our application we only allow tagging sports activities. And people who would love to join these activities are only tagged by their nicknames for only their friends and under their consent. Users are kept anonymous to each other if they are not added to each other friend list. Even if they have ticked attending to a sports activity they are kept anonymous only their position and place appear is to be taken. Furthermore, they are given random names and numbers each time they enter the chat room unless they are friends.
- For Security we used inception system for the sensitive personal information and also our database is designed to secure users information as mentioned in the post of the data storage in our social application.
