Geolocation data are a collection of anonymized signals, or pings, emitted from connected devices such as mobile devices, connected cars, or ships (AIS). Reflecting patterns of presence and movement, geolocation data analyze and yield valuable information about industrial and economic activity.

The uses of geolocation data are many. Mobile devices help detect whether an industrial facility is under maintenance, or when it might restart. They can also determine consumption patterns for fast-moving consumer goods or quantify the workforce and its make-up on a given worksite. Similarly, maritime AIS signals can identify risks of port congestion, detect variations in vessel speeds that might change fuel consumption, or observe changes in route by ships of interest. Last, signals from connected cars help establish realtime trends in fuel demand, detect regional variation in travel patterns, and measure the market penetration of electric vehicles.

At Kayrros, we are very considerate of the quality of our input data to ensure the highest quality of service and compliance with regulations.
Kayrros is headquartered in the European Union and is careful to ensure that the company meets the GDPR standards on geolocation data. We require our partners to guarantee explicit user consent, abide by opt-out procedures, and provide us only with the minimal information required for our use cases related to economic activity, such as coordinates and timestamps associated with an anonymized device identifier. Kayrros can then make geolocation inputs available while protecting individual rights and without using or providing personally identifiable information.
