WiFi hotspot can track your position.

  Unless you have a randomized mac address.

    I don't think so. Yes, if you have a random MAC, then the WiFi point itself may not be able to track you. But, the tracking in real life happens in reverse. Android notes all WiFi MACs and SSIDs in your vicinity (whether you have your WiFi on or not!) and sends them to Google, and other advertisers, with location data. That is then correlated, and presumably re-sold.

      Of course, if you OS is compromised, you can do nothing about it. Consider GNU/Linux phones instead if you care about privacy.

        Or dumb phones.
