At the risk of venturing off the topic of the main thread... Could that behaviour possibly be explained by timing rather than location? My Android gives me commute data around 7:30AM, regardless of where I am or whether I'm moving. Perhaps they simply guessed you'd be at home.

“Google has confirmed it has been able to track the location of Android users via the addresses of local mobile phone masts, even when location services were turned off and the sim cards removed to protect privacy.”[1] Not saying that’s what happened here, but with Google these days I’ll assume evil[2] instead of giving the benefit of the doubt.

Not just timing... but you're connected to "CompanyWiFi" and it's the end of the business day when you usually disconnect your charging cable/leave. There are many signals they could use to show that

  The whole point of turning off 'location' is I want it to not track my location. I disabled it on purpose. If I only wanted to turn off GPS, I would do that. I turned off location. If they're not actually going to turn off 'location' then don't call it location. Call it GPS, and be honest about it.
