It is a major concern of a Beacon App Development Company to stop getting their

consumer’s data into the hands of the wrong person and to prevent malicious attacks. Since Beacon apps involve highly private data like the location of the customer, what have they bought, what are they looking at, etc, it is a very private matter. Thus, the risk is very high. Most customers are unaware of this, and share their private data happily, without any worry of their privacy.

This problem persists in both, iOS and Android. Thus, you should have a clear understanding of Background modes and the way beacon apps can function in the background.
