I don’t love location tracking but their statistics blog posts are usually pretty funny/interesting. And I’m guessing part of this is to work with specific laws. I read that in US states with draconian laws, they’re actively blocking users.

The thing is, you can do the same statistics without including the user's email address or otherwise directly linking a data point to a specific person.

They may need to retain certain information for laws, but they aren't obligated by law to also share that information with their analytics partners.
