1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- Performing by a client device;
configuring the client device to track the geographic location of the client device;
receiving, by the client device, information from a remote system comprising one or more time periods during which a location of the client device can be tracked;
tracking, by the client device, the location of the client device by obtaining a plurality of location coordinates of the client device during each of the time periods and persistently storing the location coordinates on the client device;
determining that a first transmitter of the client device is unacceptable;
based on the determination, sending one or more of the stored location coordinates to the remote system using a second transmitter of the client device; and
locking the client device in response to detecting that a user has disabled the location tracking on the client device.
