Be Location Safe

Everyone wants your location—because it’s valuable.Don’t let companies harvest and sell your geolocation data. They profit while you take all the risk.

At ObscureIQ™, we give you clear, actionable steps to stop leaking your location and clean up the data spills already out there.

If your threat level is low, you can follow the DIY steps below. If your threat level is higher, we can help with advanced solutions.

Only the ObscureIQ™ Footprint Wipe service can effectively delete your historical location data from hundreds of data brokers.

To be Location Safe, you must:

1. Stop Leaking Your Location

2. Clean Up Your Location Data Spills

Low-Level Risk

STOP LEAKING: Disable Specific App Tracking

• Prevents individual apps from tracking you

• Stops invasive platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, TikTok, YouTube, Google Maps, Uber, Amazon, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Snapchat

CLEAN SPILLS: Auto-Delete After X Days

• Set automatic deletion of your location history after 3, 18, or 36 months

• Reduces the buildup of historical data across platforms

Medium-Level Risk

STOP LEAKING: Disable Global Ad Tracking

• Cuts off most location data leakage

• Blocks AdTech companies from sharing your data through your Mobile Ad ID (MAID)

CLEAN SPILLS: Delete All Google Maps Data

• Wipe stored location history from Google Maps

• Remember: location data is also stored by social media, weather, and fitness apps

Medium-Level Risk (Extra Step)

STOP LEAKING: Enable Airplane Mode

• Quick toggle that disables your phone’s communication channels

• Cellular, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi are turned off (though GPS remains enabled)

CLEAN SPILLS: Delete All Location History

• Remove your stored history from Google and Apple ecosystems

• Note: your history may exist in multiple places and require manual deletion

High-Level Risk

STOP LEAKING: Disable Location Services

• Shuts down GPS-based tracking completely

• Apps like Maps won’t function while this is disabled

• Even with Location Services off, your phone can still be tracked via:

  • Cell towers

  • Public Wi-Fi

  • Cell site simulators (Stingrays)

  • Bluetooth

  • IP addresses

  • Malware

You are relatively safe with Location Services disabled—unless targeted by law enforcement, governments, or skilled bad actors.

CLEAN SPILLS: Wipe Location History from Data Brokers

• Deleting from your phone does not delete data from the 400+ brokers who’ve already collected it

• Manual removal requires submitting requests to each broker

• The only proven alternative: ObscureIQ™ Footprint Wipe

  • Unlike generic deletion services, this specifically purges location history
