Abstract:
An apparatus for preserving privacy of a determined location(s) of a device may include a processor and memory storing executable computer code causing the apparatus to at least perform operations including receiving a request for determining a location of a device based on received fingerprint data corresponding to a summary of radio information identifying a physical place, location, area, or region. The summary based on information received from radio frequency (RF) devices. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to determine whether fingerprint data associated with a geographical location of the RF devices is stored locally for determining whether to request a network device to determine the location of the device based on providing the network device with fingerprint data and false fingerprint data relating to a location(s) that does not correspond to a current location of the device. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.
