- missedthecue 5y agoWho would buy location data about your Tile? What would be the point in buying that data?
- notRobot 5y agoYour tile location is also often your location
- missedthecue 5y agoBut unlike a phone's location data, the point of a Tile is that it won't be the location of you.

- Terretta 5y agoYou know anyone using Tile who doesn’t put a Tile on their keys? But more to the point, the Tile app makes a strong case to turn on, and leave on, location data. Easy to convince users, since they want to locate things.

If it's on someone's keyring for example it's probably outside as much as their phone is. Then if the user has denied location tracking on their phone it becomes available through another route.
