Yeah, homeboy clicked accept on a mile-long ToS. He should know this!

If the Privacy Policy is anything besides "Absolutely NO tracking" I'm cautious. If it requires an always on internet connection, it's not for me unless it's a router that supports custom firmware.

Even if they say no tracking, but collect data, I'm still always suspicious. Even of they don't track, a data breach can ruin my day.

I consider tracking as collecting user data, not a geo-location function.
