With the adoption of GDPR in 2018 and other similar laws coming into play this year, consumers are hyper-aware of their data and how it’s being used (or misused). With seemingly daily headlines about data misappropriation—in addition to Facebook’s non-stop data breaches—it’s become apparent that consumer data is fueling a new multi-billion dollar industry that hasn’t taken privacy concerns seriously.
Can privacy and personalization ever be compatible? It’s not a question consumers regularly ask, even though concerns over targeting and apps that continuously log location data grow greater by the day.

Online privacy is a topic that everyone is talking about right now, but the general belief that consumers are unaware of how their personal information is being shared by technology providers may be outdated.

In light of recent events surrounding Google and Facebook, two tech giants that have been beleaguered by accusations of mishandling consumers’ data, consumers have become aware of the true value of their information, as well as the lengths companies are willing to go to in order to obtain it.
Continuing its slow but steady climb toward the main stage, it appears that geolocation targeting has finally reached a tipping point. According to a new report by WBR Insights and Future Stores, sponsored by the location data technology firm Blis, nearly eight in 10 retailers now partner with third-party data providers to collect geolocation data, and 71% are leveraging location data for advertising purposes.
A new report out today by Blis, a mobile location and behavioral advertising solutions firm, describes a new breed of consumer, created after the last recession, with perpetual access to an unprecedented amount of information via their mobile devices.
