also known as Wi-Fi Positioning System (WPS), further develops the concept of Global Positioning System. Instead of relying on satellites, it uses Wi-Fi routers and smart devices (Wi-Fi access points) to locate a phone, tablet or laptop more accurately than GPS. If this sounds both fascinating and scary, that's because it is.

In this article we will discuss Wi-Fi location tracking and how it is used on a daily basis, and how to avoid becoming a target of location data surveillance.

So, how does Wi-Fi location-based tracking work? How does this technology affect your privacy? Let's find out.
