Location tracking data collected from third-party apps can be extensively sold and made publicly available, allowing for detailed tracking of individuals' movements and habits.
Researchers warn that location datasets can identify sensitive information about individuals, such as visitors to abortion clinics or the members of grand juries, posing serious privacy concerns.
