CNet reports that "Life360, an app that enables family members to share their location with one another, sells its user data to "approximately a dozen data brokers who have sold data to virtually anyone who wants to buy it," The Markup reported Monday. The report landed less than a month after Life360 bought Tile, a well-known location tracking company." I haven't found independent confirmation of The Markup's report, but Life360's privacy policy is pretty clear on this: "We may share your personal information, including your precise location data, driving sensor data, unique identifiers or AD IDs and other data with our partners, such as Cuebiq and its Partners, for their marketing and business purposes." This (again) is why we need personal data applications, not commercial cloud services.
