Starting August, 2021, all new apps to be published to the Google Play store need a declaration about how user data are being protected, transmitted and stored. I plan to use @agraham's encryption library to encrypt/decrypt (AES) all personal data except location ( Latitude and longitude) which reveals users' location.

However, I'm not sure about what to do with location data ( Latitude and longitude) which are used in some select queries to return records of users within certain radius. I aim for low or medium security for speed because users shouldn't wait too long for queries to return a result.

TIA
