LPDS 2025: Location Privacy in the Digital Society 2025

As digital mapping and location-based services become integral to daily life, the issue of location privacy grows increasingly critical. This thematic session will build upon the momentum fromlast yearand continue exploring the intersection of privacy, technology, and geography, focusing on the ethical and technological challenges associated with geospatial data collection and usage. In this thematic session, we invite papers that explore the theoretical, methodological, and applied perspectives on location privacy, spanning issues such as geodata masking, privacy risk assessment, mobility trajectories, and the ethical implications of emerging sensor technologies. The session will also highlight innovative frameworks, policy approaches, and technical solutions for enhancing privacy protections while ensuring the benefits of geospatial technologies can be fully realized.

The event welcomes contributions on a wide range of themes, including but not limited to: privacy, ethics, gis and spatial data science.
