"we need to permanently track your location on the app to better serve you. unless you are a possible government official, in which case we will track your location to block you from the service"
yes definitely not scary at all that they're tracking open/close of the app by location...
Where users open the app is just as legitimate a marketing tool as traffic counts or parking lot counts in retail, or musicians knowing where Spotify users are streaming their songs to inform concert tour plans, etc.
If you give me location access permission, it seems reasonable to expect that I'm going to use that location access.
i understand uber needs to use my location for their service. i don't expect them to use it to determine whether or not i should be allowed on their service.
and also i don't expect them to continue using my location once i leave the app in the name of "user safety" _especially_ given the above info.
