Abstract
The availability of mobile devices has led to an arising development of indoor location services collecting a large amount of sensitive information. However, without accurate and verified management, such information could become severe back-doors for security and privacy issues. We propose in this paper a novel Location-Based Service (LBS) architecture in line with the GDPR’s provisions. For feasibility purposes and considering a representative use-case, a reference implementation, based on the popular Telegram app, is also presented.
