Locaccino is the only location-sharing system that gives you precision control over who can see your location. While most location-based systems only allow you to list which of your contacts should or shouldn’t be able to see your location, our privacy settings allow you to create rules as simple or complex as you want them to be!
Our technology allows you to easily define the times when you want to share your locations. Locaccino lets you create groups for your friends to simplify your location preferences. With Locaccino, allowing your co-workers to see your location from 8AM – 5PM is a snap.
Locaccino also allows you to specify where you can be located. Using a Google maps interface, you can define regions where you do and don’t want other people to be able to find you.
Locaccino Location Sensing
Our software will sense your location without even requiring GPS! By leveraging the wifi network of Skyhook Wireless, a nearby location will be found for you. The Locaccino software you’ll download will do all the work.
We Protect Your Privacy
Locaccino has a team of privacy researchers actively working to make sure that your data is kept safe.
Our Privacy Policy explains in detail exactly how we store and process all of your data.
“…we all should have the right to draw the curtain when we want.”
