Everyone knows your location

How I tracked myself down using leaked location data in the in-app ads, and what I found along the way.

An amazing bit of digital detective work here. Seems like Linux mobile is your only off ramp from being exhaustively tracked

    As a quick note - location shared was not very precise (but still in the same postal index), I guess due to the fact that iPhone was connected to WiFi and had no SIM installed. If it was LTE, I bet the lat/lon would be much more precise.

    And this was with location services off. How precise is a “postal index” in the author’s country (presumably Spain) I wonder.
