I wouldn't want to use a GPS tracked scooter. The company might sell my location data or get hacked. Better to buy a non-GPS tracked scooter of my own.

Better leave your phone at home while you're on a personal scooter then.

Your phone is constantly tracked by the cell towers it communicates with and in urban areas that's quite accurate location data. This data is sold to third parties.

I can put my phone in a Faraday sleeve, not so easy for a scooter.

There are a number of chips in the phone running their own OSes that you have no control over.
