ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users who take BeReals and use location-dependent features operate under terms that authorize continuous collection and retention of GPS coordinates tied to their posts. Users cannot use these features without enabling this data collection mechanism.
