You signed up for peace of mind — not for your kid’s location to be sold to the highest bidder. In this Burn Notice episode, Ian and Ainsley torch through the hidden tradeoffs behind Life360, the popular family tracking app that markets safety but fuels the surveillance economy with precise location data.
Drawing from James W.'s unfiltered breakdown, we explore how Life360’s GPS breadcrumbs can end up in advertiser hands — and why the app’s data deals raise serious questions about COPPA compliance for users under 13.
With the intensity of Man on Fire and the precision of a slow-smoked brisket, this episode lays out, what "precise" vs. "approximate" location really means, how Life360’s data monetization works under the hood, step-by-step tips to turn off data sharing inside the app and why Digital Exhaust isn’t just a privacy issue — it’s a family safety crisis
Because when the fire’s this hot, you don’t need GPS to know you’re being tracked.
