Institutional analysis (regulatory & governance intelligence)

Precise geolocation is classified as 'sensitive personal information' under CPRA, requiring a separate opt-out right and restricted use limitation; multiple state privacy laws (Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia) impose similar requirements, and historical FCC enforcement actions against carriers for unauthorized location data sales are directly relevant.
