Triangle Article Analysis:
Apple acts on iPhone tracking bug
1.2 Security
How secure is the information being stored?
The log of the users tracked locations could be easily accessed once synced to a computer.
Goes hand-in-hand with Privacy & Anonymity. Who is able to access this information?
1.3 Privacy & Anonymity
Who can see this data and how much of it?
The service is opt-in but many are/were unaware that their movements were being tracked and may not want that information to be seen by some or any.
How much of the information can be seen by the service provider(app developer)? This is not explained in the article but you may be revealing a little too much of your whereabouts to the application developers.
1.7 Surveillance
Could the government or other agencies/corporations be watching you?
If you give app developers permission to track your location they could see where you are when the application is up.
Let's say the FBI gets a warrant to search all of your personal objects they could access your computer obtain the log of your locations with date and time and use that information against you or for you.
