Even if not, familiarize yourself with DeFlock. At the very least, hopefully, there's a way you can route yourself when you're getting around that'll deprive them of data.

    They're expanding their footprint around me. The city and adjacent city both have contracts and several retailers have them at all entrances. I tried to see if I could add the locations to deflock via street complete but then realized that I can't log the sites when (safely) driving.
