Does anyone know what kind of data they get and how they get it? Is it through bluetooth? Wifi? NFC? Something else? That's obviously something I would want to

That's obviously something I would want to "adblock".
- elliekelly 6y agoIt seems (in the US at least) they purchase the data directly from cellular service providers: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/02/29/468598100/using-billboards-company-will-collect-personal-information-to-help-advertisers https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/02/29/468598100...
- eeNodoh6 6y agoThanks. So if they did something similar in EU, it means they must have such deal with some providers. I can't wait to have their names, I certainly will change provider if mine has anything to do with that.
- JeanMarcS 6y ago(copying my comment to answer you) From what I read in the Belgian post where I got this info, to be conform to GDPR, they will only track with opt-in. The trick is that opt-in will be in partners apps you will install on your phone. So, basically, your phone.
