On the Importance of Location Privacy for Users of Location Based Applications

Do people care about their location privacy while using location-based service apps? This paper aims to answer this question and several other hypotheses through a survey, and review the privacy preservation techniques. Our results indicate that privacy is indeed an influential factor in the selection of location-based apps by users.
