Opt out BSSID from IoT Core Device Location

Question

Hello,
I have a client who would like to opt out their BSSIDs from the wifi location service. Where is the proper place to submit the request.

Answer

Hi Spencer. AWS IoT Core Device Location uses third-party solvers: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/device-location.html. If you don't call the third-party solvers with the [GetPositionEstimate](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot-wireless/2020-11-22/apireference/API_GetPositionEstimate.html) API, then AWS won't send any data to them.

If you want the BSSIDs opted out of the third-party solvers, then you need to take it up with them. To the best of my knowledge, HERE is the third-party solver for WiFi location. More information here: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/iot/patterns-for-building-iot-based-asset-tracking-solutions-with-aws-iot-core-device-location/. Please also see the AWS Service Terms: https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/. 39.12 in particular and the other clauses it refers too.
