If they were interested in my location they could request location data. What are the odds they are doing this to directly market products to people based on health data?

Inb4 “They already do that based on what you regularly purchase”

Of course, yes they do. This appears to be one more layer on top of it. And surely they wouldn’t share that information with the pharmacy, right?

An enormous amount of information can be inferred by knowing your activity and fitness levels.

No, it's just step count and elevation, to provide more accurate details about your workout.

So you're making shit up to be upset about and can't even be bothered to look up what it means, but the real problem is me being derogatory. Got it.
