    My justification is that it is just as much PII as a my address, the only difference is that it was collected wirelessly, which makes your argument boil down to "the GDPR does not apply to data collected wirelessly".

    But the real problem is that even if the GDPR did not exist, you should not be arguing for collecting personally identifiable data without consent. That's in the realm of big tech companies with "be evil" ss their motto.

    Please don't be like them.

    @leeloo @Life_is @CoMaps Your address is publicly mapped. The location of your address is easy to look up in a database. Having a map/database of addresses mapped to locations is not a privacy issue. The same thing applies to a statically located Wi-Fi AP which is not being moved around as long as you're not putting anything sensitive in the SSID name. It's only a privacy issue when an AP is moved while having the same SSID or MAC. It's a privacy issue regardless of what we do with this.
