It seems that every app on your phone wants to collect data about you. One of the most sensitive forms of data that is commonly collected is your real-time location. Using this data, advertising networks can get an idea of what stores you frequent and even send you ads for businesses you’re near. You may not be able to completely eliminate location tracking, but If you don’t want data brokers collecting your location data, you can greatly limit the amount of data being collected.
