Most people assume that their daily movements—where they shop, drive, walk, or work—are private. But that’s no longer true. Every time you open an app, swipe a card, or connect to Wi-Fi, there’s a good chance your location is being logged, sold, and stored. What’s more disturbing? It’s all legal.
We live in a world where privacy is often traded for convenience. But beneath the surface is a vast, largely invisible economy powered by your location data. And many of the laws that should protect you were written long before smartphones and GPS tracking became ubiquitous.
