She accused me of being on some odd street far away. I was at work.
I unshared it with her and soon she released me to freedom lol!
There is a whole industry around what is collected and collated there -- geofencing. Say you own a store, for example, and you want to know the average income of the people who visit. You can buy that data, because there are aggregators who buy from apple, google, etc., who match up all online tracking with public records with location data, in their magic black box computers, and resell the results of searches on it. Like of those who came within 50 feet of your store, their age ranges, gender, registered political party, income, etc. All the "personally identifying" information is stripped out, enough so it's legal anyway.
