  1. Background & Overview Report Joanne Gabrynowicz Doug Richardson NGAC Meeting April 2, 2014 GEOLOCATION PRIVACY

  2. Geolocation Privacy • The subject of geolocation privacy is a complex and multi-faceted issue that has potential impacts on multiple sectors of the geospatial community.

  3. NGAC Activities • NGAC held a Geolocation Privacy Spotlight Session in 2012 Spotlight Session. • Subcommittee members drafted a briefing paper in September 2013 for discussion at the NGAC public meeting. • Subcommittee members reviewed materials from the spotlight session & briefing paper, brainstormed key issues, then reported to NGAC in December 2013.

  4. Key Issues Brainstorm: Geolocation Privacy • No clear federal policy or policy lead • Lack of common or accepted definition for geolocation privacy. • Term “privacy” is cross-cutting, impacting legal, health, etc. Affects many different programs. What aspects should NGAC address? • This is an enormous subject. Need to engage the larger community.

  5. Key Issues Brainstorm: Geolocation Privacy • What about the context – natural resource, health, national security, archeology, etc. Level of concern may impact level of privacy needed. • Consider inventorying communities that would have a vested interest. • Need to develop a fair policy with interests involved. What are the elements of a clear, fair geolocation privacy policy? • Consider exploring the issue from multiple perspectives • Consider exploring technical approaches as well as as well as policy solutions to address geolocation privacy concerns

  6. 2014 Guidance • The issue of geolocation privacy is an area of continuing importance to the FGDC and the organizations represented on the NGAC. The FGDC will continue to collaborate with the NGAC to review and develop common approaches to the issue of geolocation privacy, including the following: • Inventory communities/sectors with an interest in geolocation privacy issues (e.g., State and local government organizations) to identify emerging approaches and potential best practices to help address geolocation privacy concerns, including: • Administrative policies and guidelines • Technical approaches and solutions • Legislative/statutory changes
