Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method for determining a pseudo location of a user. The method includes collecting, by a processing device, ultraviolet (UV) sensor data from a UV sensor of a user device of the user. The method further includes analyzing, by the processing device, the UV sensor data by comparing the UV sensor data to a UV profile for a geographic area. The method further includes determining, by the processing device, the pseudo location of the user based at least in part on the UV sensor data and the UV profile.
