LocationPrivacy is not really app but rather a set of Intent Filters for all of the various ways of sharing location. When you share location from one app, LocationPrivacy offers itself as an option. It then recognizes insecure methods of sharing location, and then converts them to more secure methods. This mostly means that it rewrites URLs to use https, and even to use geo: URIs, which can work on fully offline setups. LocationPrivacy mostly works by reading the location information from the URL itself. For many URLs, LocationPrivacy must actually load some of the webpage in order to get the location.

Tor is a program you can run on your computer that helps keep you safe on the Internet. It protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location. This set of volunteer relays is called the Tor network.
