You left off the end of th sentence which says "The location data is collected in a form that does not personally identify you." got-2 accesses the GPS on your device to provide location based alerts that you establish, e.g., get a pop-up reminder at the hardware store with a list of items you need. If you enter an address into a location based alert, got-2 will pop-up a BlackBerry or Google Map for you to confirm the location where you want the alert to trigger. gWhiz does not collect any of that GPS info or store it in a database. You'll also notice when you downloaded got-2 for free there was no prompt for name, address, phone#, ... because we do not want to know/maintain that data either. We're assuming at some point the advertisements will be more location aware and our ad sponsors will want to target impressions to certain zip codes but that is not taking place at this time. I hope this helps explain our current capability. Please see our forum site as well: http://forum.gwhizmobile.com/showthread.php?t=11We're also considering a version with no ads and would appreciate anyones thoughts on a reasonable price point.Thanks, John Steve_C,
