Location Privacy Configuration
Component Detail
Description
Configuration module that centralizes all privacy-related settings for location data, including data retention policies, consent expiry periods, and links to the organization-specific privacy policy URL. Ensures the consent dialog and audit logs reference consistent policy metadata.

Summaries
The Location Privacy Configuration module is the organization's single source of truth for how user location data is governed, retained, and disclosed. By centralizing privacy policy URLs, consent retention periods, and data sensitivity classifications in one place, the organization ensures that all user-facing consent dialogs and internal audit trails reflect current and legally accurate policy information. This directly reduces legal and compliance risk — a mismatch between what users consent to and what audit logs record can result in regulatory penalties. It also enables rapid policy updates without requiring changes across multiple components, reducing the operational cost of compliance maintenance as regulations evolve.
This is a low-complexity configuration module with no dependencies, making it safe to deliver early and use as a foundation for privacy-sensitive features. Its primary delivery risk is organizational: the actual privacy policy URLs and retention periods must be defined and approved by legal or compliance stakeholders before the module can be finalized. Schedule a policy review meeting early in the project to avoid blocking consent dialog and audit log development. Because this module is shared across execution contexts, any change to its outputs — particularly getConsentRetentionDays or getDataSensitivityLevel — will have downstream effects on both mobile UI and backend audit systems.
Treat it as a stable contract and version changes carefully.
This module exposes four deterministic accessors with no side effects or external I/O. `getPrivacyPolicyUrl(organizationId)` performs a lookup — likely against a static map or remote config — returning the org-specific URL for the consent dialog deep link. `getConsentRetentionDays()` returns the integer day count for purging expired consent records. `getDataSensitivityLevel()` returns a typed enum (e.g., DataSensitivityLevel.high) consumed by audit and storage components to enforce encryption or access controls.
`getAuditConfig()` returns an AuditConfig value object specifying log destinations, fields to capture, and redaction rules. Since this is shared across mobile and backend contexts, avoid any Flutter-specific imports. Implement as a pure Dart class or, if multi-tenant config is dynamic, back it with a remote config provider and cache the result to avoid repeated async calls.
