even real estate agents should have a right to privacy (aas long as their not hurting anyone)

you do realise your phone signal is constantly tracked anyway ?

and i agree about the dishonesty involved

this government is particularly bereft it appears...

I'm visualising all the dark green, bindii looking critters, with ugly, angry faces counting down "14 57 14 58 14 59 CHARGE!". [bigrolf]

I've always had it turned off too, except with Android the bloody thing is continuously sending packets of data back to Google even with location turned off and that can be used to draw a map of your movements........

Check your app permissions, you'll find that there are a whole boatload of apps using location, including the Aulro app for Android. (Psst.... is Inc actually a gubmint agent???)

Yep, I know, and with some of the permissions I'm going "really,? You need that why??"

As for Inc, hmm....
Can you type a little louder in this direction please? [emoji12][emoji23]

Will be interesting to see the stats on alcohol related crime over this period. My teacher wife says I am not a pet, don't know about the rest.

Can't imagine many pubs bothering to reopen if they are only allowed 10 customers. There would be more staff than patrons.

On my phone there is a setting which can be turned on to warn me any time an ap wants my location, so I can agree or refuse. Have a search under settings, maybe advanced.

Mine either. Mine has version 6.2 so it should work. Maybe its because I bought it overseas. What do you think is the reason in your case?

Yep, have that activated to, as well as when something uses the camera, etc.

OMG, where's my tin foil hat??!! [emoji50][emoji23][emoji23]
