if turned on, your phones location will automatically ping your location. google works off this. have you heard that story of a man carrying hundreds of cellphones, turned on location to each one, and walked across a bridge with a wagon full of phones and tricked google maps as if that bridge was heavily conjested with traffic? if you already dont know, your phone is sourcing data to more people/companies than you might think.
