> I believe the data would need to be de-anonymized to be useful

I'm not aware of anyone selling person-level location data. Everyone in the ecosystem is far too scared to do that (and honestly not clear how to monetize).

It's all about foot traffic patterns and getting demographics, seeing what kind of other businesses they visit, etc IME. General location business analytics stuff.

This is the article I am building my hypothesis on. If I am able to correlate place of business with an out of town event like a conference and then further refine with gender and ethnic filters.

I understand that companies will perform this analysis on your behalf. Can anyone recommend a "reputable" one?

Heh, only sort of joking, but this is literally Palantirs business model.

I'm not saying it's impossible to put this together sometimes, I just don't think anyone is attempting to do so at a commercial level. It's really pretty unusual that you can heavily monetize the location of a single, real person.

There is at least one company that doesn't seem afraid to de-anonymize https://www.vice.com/en/article/qj454d/private-intelligence-...
