Abstract
Aspects provide methods, systems, and recording mediums for determining compliance with a location data protocol including a threshold minimum number of location data reports by users. As an example, fictitious user data including a set of locations may be generated. The set of locations may include at least one location that does not meet the threshold minimum number of location data reports by users of the location data protocol. The fictitious user data may be provided to a location data processing system that processes user location data and outputs output data including a list of locations. The output data is received and used to determine whether the at least one location is included in the list of locations. When the at least one location is included in the list of locations, it may be determined that the location data processing system has not complied with the location data protocol.
