OpenPaths

OpenPaths is an app that enables you to track, visualise and manage your mobile geo-location data. You can import and download your personal location information in different formats, which gives you a glimpse of what companies and governments who have access to this data see. OpenPaths also shows you your positional data, which might reveal information about the patterns of your life, such as where and when you work, where your partner lives, where you go shopping and even how fast you drive. Moreover, OpenPaths enables you to encrypt your geo-location data on its servers and allows you to manage who can access it.
