"Location Data, including location data such as those derived from an IP address or data that indicates a city or postal code level or latitude/longitude data.Excerpt from TaskRabbit's Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Collection of precise latitude and longitude data engages CCPA sensitive personal information provisions, which require opt-in consent for disclosure rather than mere opt-out rights. Under GDPR, location data processing requires a lawful basis under Article 6, and where it reveals sensitive information about behavior or movements, may also engage Article 9 considerations. The FTC has addressed precise location data in enforcement actions under Section 5 of the FTC Act. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy collects precise location data and discloses that personal information may be shared with advertising and analytics partners, which may create exposure if precise location data flows to advertising partners without adequate CCPA consent or GDPR lawful basis. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have CCPA sensitive personal information protections for precise geolocation. EU and UK users benefit from GDPR location data processing requirements. Illinois, Washington, and other states with specific location data restrictions may also apply depending on user residence. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Vendor contracts with analytics and advertising partners receiving location data should be reviewed to confirm that precise geolocation data is not shared without appropriate consent mechanisms and that data use restrictions are contractually enforced. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should confirm that CCPA opt-in consent mechanisms are in place for any disclosure of precise geolocation data to third parties. GDPR lawful basis documentation for location data processing should be reviewed. Technical controls limiting precision of location data shared with advertising partners should be assessed.
