Package: geoclue-2.0
Version: 2.5.6-1
Severity: serious

The geoclue package collects SSIDs in the neighborhood and sends them to
Mozilla location services.

The SSID of an adhoc network (which for instance is set up for tethering
via a mobile phone) is personally identifiable information. Sending this
information about a third person without his or her explicit consent to
another party especially one outside of the European Union is in breach
of the German law Datenschutz-Grundverordnung which is the German
implementation of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The easiest remedy would be to remove the package from the repository
until it is fixed upstream to be compliant.

Cf. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=924516

#define DEFAULT_WIFI_URL

#define DEFAULT_WIFI_SUBMIT_URL

Changes:
 geoclue-2.0 (2.5.7-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Laurent Bigonville ]
   * New upstream version 2.5.7
     - Check the maximum allowed accuracy level even for system applications.
       Respect the value of the user preference concerning the usage of their
       geolocation. This should fix the privacy and GDPR conformity concerns as
       the user explicitly needs to enable the option.
       Note that there is no distinction between the system applications
       anymore, turning on the option is allowing them all to get the location.
       (Closes: #924516, #958497)
   * debian/README.Debian: Add information about MLS and a link to the service
     Privacy Notice page
   * Add debian/salsa-ci.yml file
   * debian/control: Remove Craig Andrews from the Uploaders.
     He has not been active since 2009, thanks for his previous work on the
     package
   * d/p/: Add a patch to make the Mozilla API key configurable
   * debian/rules: Use the key that has been allocated to debian for MLS queries
   * d/gbp.conf: Stop adding the commit-id and set multimaint-merge to True
   * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.5.1 (no further changes)
   * d/p: Add an upstream patch to fix the display of the usage indicator
   * d/p: Remove the remaining differences between system app and flatpak ones.
     This fix an issue when geoclue is D-Bus activated by a client and also
     make sure that a running client is disconnected when the user disables
     the location services (set the accuracy to 0)
 .
   [ Chris McGee ]
   * debian/control: Add rules requires root
 .
   [ Debian Janitor ]
   * Refer to specific version of license LGPL-2+.
   * Apply multi-arch hints.
     + geoclue-doc, libgeoclue-doc: Add Multi-Arch: foreign.
