I hope the implementation of this isn't that I can start sampling your location repeatedly and average them out to find out where you live?

If we decide that it is a concern, I already know how I'd deal with it. I would add a "governor," to slow the process down. Depending on how the location is updated, that could be enough to render it worthless. People can't even see the "fuzzed" locations, unless they are registered members of the community. The locator would have to go through a registered account, and those don't come too easily.
However, if someone is that concerned, they would either hide their location entirely, or not join the community. The app is all about people finding each other.

Reading it, I'm not so sure it's "standard," as it seems Tinder-specific, but they have done their homework.
I'll have to see what I can do to incorporate something like that.
I'm sure a dedicated geek could still figure out how to hack it, but our target demographic, despite clamoring for privacy, tends to do Facebook "checkins" all the time.
