OpenPaths 2.0

OpenPaths (https://openpaths.cc) offers users a secure platform for managing personal location data. The application, available on iPhone, allows users to effectively track their movements, visualize their travel history, and conveniently upload this information to the OpenPaths website. Once uploaded, users can export their data in various user-friendly formats, including KML, JSON, and CSV. Additionally, the OpenPaths API facilitates integration with other software, enhancing flexibility for developers.

A key feature of OpenPaths is its emphasis on user control over data sharing. Users have the option to keep their location history private or to share it with specific research initiatives, artistic projects, or educational programs as desired. The online interface provides intuitive management tools for determining access permissions, ensuring that users maintain authority over their information. Furthermore, data security is prioritized, with all information stored on encrypted servers accessible only with explicit user consent.

OpenPaths represents an innovative approach for individuals to gain greater ownership of their personal data and engage with it meaningfully. This community-driven initiative originated from the Research and Development Lab at the New York Times Company.
