Yeah I think the word they meant to use was "private". Having a user check a box to agree to this along with a million other things is definitely legal (which I guess is your point?), but it's less than ideal for users. Consumers buy a phone with the anticipation of being able to watch Netflix and Hulu and send text messages (insert other use cases here), then pay $600 for it, then they are stopped with a "oh by the way if you want all of these apps you need to tell us where you are all the time". It's legally fine but that doesn't make it non-evil.
