A computer-implemented method of quarantining user location information, comprising: receiving, at a quarantine server, user location information comprising personally identifiable user data of a user of a data location service and user position data associated with one of more geographic positions of the user; authenticating, by an authentication server, the user location information; sending the authenticated user location information to a short term quarantine data storage database for a predetermined quarantine time; analyzing during the predetermined quarantine time, by a computer associated with the data location service, the authenticated user location information stored in the short term quarantine data storage database to: after the predetermined quarantine time expires, processing the trusted authenticated user location information stored at the short term quarantine data storage database by the data location service, to filter out at least a portion of the personally identifiable user data from the trusted authenticated user location information to produce filtered user location information; after the predetermined quarantine time expires, removing the trusted and nontrusted authenticated user location information from the short term quarantine data storage database; and after the predetermined quarantine time expires, sending the filtered user location information to a filtered data storage system for long term storage.
