Yes, that is actually a very good question. It's true that I create weather forecasting systems that rely on barometric pressure data that's collected from smartphones, and that those systems are privacy-sensitive. It's a difficult line, of course. My goals are to reduce the effects of global climate change by better understanding the atmosphere. If we can provide more accurate wind speed information to wind farms, more accurate solar irradiation information to agriculture businesses, etc, then we can radically improve the world's preparedness for large scale global climate change. For me, the issue here is deciding which problem is more important to work on. Mitigation of disastrous effects of climate change, or choose to not use any sensor data from smartphones due to my privacy concerns. So far I have aired on the side of climate change being a bigger problem, and that I have a helpful set of work that can make a difference, so I will do my work and hope that it helps.
