1. Checking Open houses: Many apps are authorized by most users to access their location. Ads space providers qualify their data, that is the way they earn their life. Then if one Ad client works in real estate, the Ads space, sorry your girlfriend phone screen, is a nice target for real estate Ads.
2. Kung fu ads: A Ads space provider for some of the ads may have noticed that several different user agents come from the same IP adress, so it inferred incorrectly that they belong to the same person.
- aylmao 9y ago^ Probably correct, +1. I'd like to add that Android by default tracks your location constantly [1]. I recently got a Pixel and was staying in a hotel. Every night I came back to the hotel room it would ask me to rate it or upload pictures of it to Google Maps. It can be disabled in Settings, iirc.
