What private information?

All this shows is how many people with an android phone walked within some specified radius of a random address.

If this were an extremely rural property, you could maybe extract something here, but inside any city, I’m not sure how this gives you anything of value.




gps is accurate enough to tell what room you are in. Google knows roughly how large each addressed building is, theyre outlined on the map. Theres no reason to assume this particular feature would be less accurate than every other GPS feature.
