  • thanks a lot

    for those who have trouble understanding this

    1. Passive Tracking (Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Beacons)

      Your phone constantly searches for nearby Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals.

      Retailers place Wi-Fi routers or Bluetooth beacons in stores to detect these signals.

      Each device has a unique MAC address (though modern phones often randomize this to prevent persistent tracking).

      These devices log when and where a phone is detected, creating a record of customer movement.

    2. What They Can Track:

      When a customer enters or exits the store

      How long they stay

      Which areas of the store they visit

      Repeat visits (if the MAC address isn’t randomized)

      Whether they’ve visited other locations (if the same system is deployed across multiple stores)














  • Oh but you do

    I have made my point and clarified myself in my previous comment. If you are having trouble comprehending it you can ask nicely

    You say Apple isn’t any better (or worse off) than Android when it comes to privacy. If that’s the case, you would then prove your claim with facts from reputable sources. Just saying something doesn’t make it true.

    I would expect your apology for your misuse of language. I would also expect your gratitude in return for the time I spent enlightening you.

    None can make a solid conclusion about which one is better because both stock google and apple are closed source. YOU CAN ONLY GUESS
