Locaccino has been developed as a part of research project at Carnegie Mellon University. Click here to find out more.
Our objective with Locaccino is to better understand people’s privacy preferences in the context of a location-sharing application and what it takes to adequately capture them. Our research encompasses the development of better tools for specifying and refining user preferences, as well as informing society and policy makers about the value and challenges associated with emerging social networking applications.
