- ipaddr 3y agoLocation tracking, sharing other apps installed, photos, contacts and aggregating that data to larger providers to be used for rtb adnetworks is the main reason. Doubt you will get persecuted but I also doubt you would publicly share your photo photos.
- spacebear 3y agoThey’re selling your precise location to data brokers that sell it to the police (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/03/fbi-finally-admits-to-buying-location-data-on-americans-horrifying-experts/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/03/fbi-finally-admi...) so you can get a deal on french fries that are killing you. This is no way to live.
- crazygringo 3y agoI hate to tell you, but they already know your location because they know you picked up your food at that McDonald's. They don't need the app for that. The app isn't tracking your location except between ordering your food and picking it up. As discussed elsewhere in this thread, your Location privacy settings in iOS ensure that.
