“An intelligence agency has just confirmed that the US government does indeed buy location data collected by its citizens’ smartphones. In a memo sent to Sen.”
“Awareness around personal data privacy has been at an all-time high globally with users now extremely conscious of what sort of data is being collected by technology companies and most importantly how that information is being used.”
