In retrospect you probably feel pretty silly for falling for such a stupid ploy to rape your privacy just so you can save a nickel on a donut. I know Canada's in a food crisis but is it worth your soul?
Unless you want to unplug your modem, turn off your cell service, and live life as a luddite, your privacy on the internet doesn't exist.
I’m strongly considering it
I strongly disagree with the way people just throw up their hands and accept defeat. It is possible to have privacy on the Internet. Projects like Tor, I2P, and Nym are working to make this a reality. Fight back against the surveillance capitalist dystopia. Normalize privacy.
Stopping yourself from installing a donut store "app" so you can feed them data is an easy way to start, actually.
You can use the app with the location permission disabled no problem. (On iOS at least)
Android too. On later versions of Android, background location access isn't even option unless the app explicitly requests it, and even then the user has to manually go into settings and enable it (the app can't trigger a prompt).
