Abstract

Privacy concerns have been identified as a major barrier to location-based services (LBS) usage. As opposed to previous studies treating location data as a universal term, this work aims at opening the black box of location data by showing the impact of the different characteristics of a user’s location. Due to the exploratory nature, qualitative interviews and a focus group are applied. By investigating voluntary and proactive location disclosure for check-in services, this study reveals two major location characteristics triggering the associated disclosure intention: hedonism and perceived uniqueness. Finally, the practical and theoretical contribution of this study consists of an enriched understanding of location data in the context of LBS usage.
