Instead they covered LA Live and surrounding area with them and then just sold that data to… well I’m not sure who since I left shortly after they did that.
The justification was “but we put it in the TOS and Privacy Policy”.
Well, at least Android 12 has granular Bluetooth permissions.
While the majority of tickets at LA Live are sold by one company currently, there are others, so it's impossible to know which specific company you're talking about.
On a completely unrelated note, there was a big thing surrounding privacy concerns with AXS' app a couple years ago.[0][1]
Clearly those claims were overblown. Surely AXS would never blanket an area with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons and invade users' privacy like that. I refuse to believe AXS would make an app virtually mandatory and then violate users' privacy using physical Bluetooth beacons. Say it ain't so.
Oh, almost forgot: fuck AXS.

Oh I forgot to mention that Apple rejected the iPhone version of the app at first because we didn't make it clear enough that we were tracking their locations like this. Our head of product at the time just called someone up at Apple and it got approved with no changes. It all stunk.
