Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, because you’re not wrong. I guess you could have been a bit be more clear. A lot of shops use radio signal tracking (e.g. bluetooth, wifi) to track your physical location in the store.

Even without the apps mentioned in the article, the store can see a bluetooth device with a unique identifier (Bluetooth MAC address of your phone), walking through specific isles and how long you stand still at a section.

For best privacy: use wired headphones and put your phone in airplane mode

Guten Abend Herr Thierig, we just came to see if you are okay.

You are not allowed to visit an employee’s residence without invitation, so what you did made us very concerned about your mental wellbeing.
Therefore we have brought our doctor with us to check up on you, to make sure you are allright.

Tschüss!

If you walk into a bar and the bartender takes a shot of tequila with you, you’d both be fine.

If the bartender takes a shot of tequila with everyone who enters the bar, every visitor would be fine and the bartender would be dead.

I second Language Transfer.

I tried to study Arabic with duolingo for about two years, but I never got very far since nothing is properly explained.

Then I started to watch regular classes that someone recorded (in my native language), and I started using language transfer.

With those together I got much farther in a month than I ever got with duolingo.

Nothing beats a class where you can discuss with the students and ask questions to the teacher.

But if you don’t want to spend a lot of money, language transfer and recorded lessons on YouTube are so much better than duolingo
