Abstract
A method includes receiving a beacon identifier and a location of a beacon associated with the beacon identifier from an individual location monitoring system operated by a first entity. The method further includes, with a data hosting system operated by a second entity, determining an identity of a monitored individual associated with the beacon identifier, associating the location of the beacon with the identity of the monitored individual, and receiving a request for the location of the monitored individual including authentication credentials. The method further includes, with the data hosting system, determining if the requesting individual is authorized to access data about the monitored individual and, if the requesting individual is authorized to access the data, providing the location of the monitored individual to the device, wherein the identity of the monitored individual is stored on the data hosting system and is inaccessible to the individual location monitoring system.
