Disabling Location Updates

If you have access to the iPhone which is running the My Locus application, you can temporarily disable updates with the "Disable Updates" switch, or permanently disable updates by clicking on the "Sign Out" button.

If you do not have access to the iPhone which is running the My Locus application, you can de-register from Google as follows:

  1. Login to your Google account at http://www.google.com
  2. Click on "Settings", "Google Account Settings"
  3. Under "Personal Settings", "Security", click on "Authorizing applications & sites"
  4. Click "Revoke Access" on "My Locus - Google Latitude" and ensure that it is no longer listed


Privacy

The following steps ensure that your privacy is respected:

  • The first-time setup of the iPhone application requires you to login to Google and authorize the application to update your location.
  • No location data or user credentials are ever uploaded to My Locus servers.
  • Google Latitude provides extensive control of privacy settings. By default your location is NOT shared with any friends.
