I am building an app and want to add a feature that tracks user's location. Are there any legal implications if I do this?
user
Yes, there are legal implications to consider when tracking user location data. It is important to be aware of privacy laws and regulations that may affect your specific use case. Generally, users must opt-in for their location data to be collected and stored. Additionally, in some countries, like the EU, you must also obtain permission from the user's local data protection authority before you can store and use their personal data. In many cases notification of the Data Controller (who is responsible for storing personal information) is also legally required if a user's GPS location is going to be tracked or recorded. Lastly it is important to note that certain countries may require users' consent via an explicit agreement prior to collection of any information regarding the user's physical location.

user
Yes, there are legal implications if you track user's location without their permission. You should consider adding a feature in your app that will request and obtain the user's explicit consent before tracking their location. Additionally, if you plan to collect users' precise location data, you should review the applicable laws and regulations to ensure that you comply with them.
