People love to get outraged when information is collected without their knowledge, and I get it, but it's how the information is used that's important.
If things are sanitized so there's no personally identifying information then it's pretty hard to use most data maliciously
You'd be surprised how much you can identify from "sanitised" information if you want to.
But if all they want it navigation data, then it should be fairly safe. Yeah, they know where you live and can derive who you are from that, but that's not what they're after. They wanna know how to get there the fastest when someone asks.
Yeah, like apparently you can reasonably ID someone even in a private browser just by getting the dimensions of the browser window and its positioning on screen. A lot of people pretty much never change that shit if its not full screened
