What exactly is being sold here? Triangulation information, texts and calls? If so it's been there forever, this isn't new. It's been happening for over a decade. Who remembers lifelog from DARPA?

Don't forget the people including you in photos that go up on Facebook, Insta, etc.

You may not have accounts there but rest uneasy that unless your family and friends respect your privacy and right to informed consent, photos of you are getting processed for face recognition and location without you having to do much other than say "queso" for the photos.

I wonder if we can get our own information someday it would be fun to see how right and wrong they get this information. I've seen stuff like socialblade and aggregators guess, and they're always way off. With AI it's time to poison the well. :)
