Radiusguard
A request-path location privacy gateway that evaluates declared purpose, person and transaction context, consent, destination, governing-policy candidates, precision, and sale or sharing restrictions before allowing, transforming, or blocking data.
The supplied research confirms a Virginia precise-geolocation law effective July 1, 2026 and identifies Oregon and Maryland as related ban states. No commercial request-path coordinate transformation service was found. Radiusguard's opportunity is a maintained policy runtime, but the original coordinate-to-jurisdiction-to-compliant-output promise is unsafe: a coordinate does not establish residence or governing law, and blurring data does not necessarily cure a prohibited sale or prior collection. The safe default is block or escalate when context, authority, or rule status is missing.
The privacy, legal, data-platform, or mobile engineering team operating an application that collects, stores, uses, shares, or sells location data in the United States.
Low-latency processing must preserve legal context, minimize precise data, and fail safely under uncertainty.
The July 2026 Virginia date creates immediate urgency.
Several connected concepts support the direction but external convergence is moderate.
A dated legal trigger, clear technical buyer, open geospatial primitives, and no identified runtime peer support the concept.
Legal applicability cannot be inferred from coordinates alone, precise data enters the gateway, rules are complex and changing, and no incumbent copying barrier exists.
