If you're using a free service with no ads, then of course they are selling any data you give them access to.

This isn't really news.

What's not clear is if AccuWeather, which has an ad-free paid in-app-purchase, would still send this information even if someone opted out of ads that way. If this information was sent even from the paid users' devices, that would be even worse!

@willstrafach, any idea about this?

This is a very good point, I have not tested the behavior of AccuWeather for paying users.
