The Geospatial Commission wants to understand the public’s awareness of location data, and explore their views about opportunities, risks and ethical considerations that may be brought about by its use. This will help the Geospatial Commission develop policy around the use of location data by different organisations.

The Geospatial Commission is a committee that works within the Cabinet Office to make the best use of geospatial data. They are working with the UK Research and Innovation’s Sciencewise programme, Traverse and the Ada Lovelace Institute. Sciencewise is a programme designed to help policy-makers carry out public dialogue to inform their decision-making on science and technology issues. Traverse is an independent consultancy, specialising in public engagement, who have been contracted to design and run the dialogue events. They are working in partnership with the Ada Lovelace Institute – an independent research institute and deliberative body with a mission to ensure data and AI work for people and society.
