There are potential legal risks associated with tracking someone else's location data. Additionally, you may be sued for violation of privacy and other offenses if you fail to meet applicable law requirements when handling such information. To protect yourself from potential lawsuits it is important to take measures that ensure compliance with privacy laws, such as obtaining informed consent from the person whose data is being tracked or ensuring that the activity falls under an exemption in the law. Moreover, encrypting sensitive data, keeping proper logs and records, and monitoring user activity regularly can help reduce liability when collecting location data from users. Finally a written policy for handling collected information should be implemented outlining your practices for secure storage of personal information.

Tracking someone else's location data without their consent can lead to numerous legal risks, including potential lawsuits alleging that the tracking violated their privacy rights or caused them harm. Such suits could lead to damages such as compensatory and punitive damages, increased costs associated with responding to and defending the lawsuit, and potential tarnishment of a company’s reputation. To protect against these risks, it is essential to obtain clear and express informed consent from the data subject before tracking their location data.
