At best, the audience data it claims to have is from the lowest of the low common denominator who never use security/privacy settings and leave admin/admin turned on on their routers.
I can't imagine this targeting is possible for all devices but I've been surprised deep diving into apple dev specs to find out there is always a workaround..
Apple notifications allow device location tracking for example (yes even if location services turned off).

"Because the system actually monitors the regions, you don’t need to request always permissions for your app"
- lxgr 3y agoCan apps access the information whether a location based notification has been delivered even when the user does not click it? In any case, this is quite visible to the user. I’d definitely be suspicious about apps showing me this kind of notification without asking for it.
- staplers 3y agoIt might be a non-issue but it was certainly interesting to discover that an app can have "only in-use" permissions yet trigger location based events while closed.
