GasBuddy, at least, said that they could (read: would) sell the location data that they collected after opt-in. It was part of the agreement.
I can't imagine a world where it would be illegal for two parties to agree to sell the location data that one of them generates.
- woodson 2y agoThat’s the world we live in today. Under many countries’ privacy laws, it’s not legal to sell PII to a third party that you collected for a specific other purpose (e.g., fulfilling the primary purpose of the app). The problem is that they do it anyways.
- ssl-3 2y agoWhat problem? If I agree to let FantasyCorp sell my location data, and then they follow through with our agreement and actually sell it, then there's no problem here that I can see.
