If I have access to your daily whereabouts, I have strong priors with which to predict a host otherwise private characteristics and/or affiliations. Frequenting gay bars? Likely homosexual. Church every Sunday and shooting range a few times a year? Good chance you might be a republican. Volunteering at planned Parenthood events? Not a bad bet that you're a liberal.
And these are just the obvious patterns - imagine how much you could predict with some basic statistical analysis, or modern ML. This is a very dangerous concentration of power and it's no surprise that people are willing to pay good money for it.
