Android app developers may be unwittingly sharing their users’ location data with advertisers
Android app developers should be aware of a potential privacy risk: third-party code embedded within their apps may be surreptitiously collecting user location data, even when permission is granted only to the app itself.

This underscores the ongoing need for vigilance regarding data security.
