Not that I believe anything that any for profit company says, but all cell phone info is anonymous and has no identifying info. However if you keep pinging teh same tower location, and the 1x a week that your GPS is used, and whenever you turn wifi on it registers in the exact same spot, its not really hard to find your exact location to within 10 meters.

All in all I do believe that all these super large companies are evil and are out to get you. I also believe that they do a shity job providing for your data security. They are out to make a dollar, and it doesnt matter what it cost you as long as it doesnt hurt their bottom line.
