<title>Privacy Controls for Location Services</title>
<media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
- <p>You'll now get better control over which application have access
- to the location service data and not. The first time an application tries
- to access your location, a dialog box will prompt you for permission
- before giving access.</p>
-
- <p>While the location service is active, an indicator will be displayed
- in the top bar.</p>
-
- <p>All applications that requests access to location data are listed in the
- Privacy settings. There you can set the access for each individual
- application. You can turn off the location services for the entire system
- using the disable option in the system menu.</p>
+ <p>Location services makes it possible for applications to find out your
+ current location. While this can be extremely useful, it can also be a
+ privacy issue if you don't want other parties to know where you are. For
+ this reason, it has always been possible to disable location services, in
+ order to prevent them from being used by applications. With 3.20, access to
+ location services can be decided per application, making these privacy
+ controls much more flexible.</p>
+ <p>Privacy controls for location services are also much more robust in
+ 3.20, since applications are now required to ask for access to location
+ data the first time they try to access it. These applications can
+ provide an explanation for why they are trying to access location data.</p>
+ <p>All the applications that have requested access to location data are
+ listed in a new part of the privacy settings. Here you can allow or deny
+ access for each application. It is also possible to turn off location
+ services for the entire system. As with previous versions of GNOME, an
+ indicator is displayed in the top bar when location service are in use.</p>
