On Foursquare, if you don't want people to know you are on a date or with a friend at a certain place, then you don't have to let people know. You don't check in." Selvadurai also stated that Foursquare does not passively track users, which means a user has to actively check in to let people know where they are.<sup id="cite_ref-Privacy_future_43-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Privacy_future-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On May 8, 2012, Foursquare developers changed its <a href="/wiki/API" title="API">API</a><sup id="cite_ref-44" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-44"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>44<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in response to a number of "stalker" applications which had been making the locations of all female users within a specific area available to the public.<sup id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-45"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>45<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In late December 2012, Foursquare updated its privacy policy to indicate it would display users' full names, as opposed to an initial for a surname.
