Does Pokemon Go Sell Your Location Data?
Last updated
Ever wondered while catching your favorite Pikachu if Pokemon Go sells your location data? Let’s dive into this question.
With everyone talking about data privacy these days, it’s natural to ask if games like Pokemon Go, which use your GPS, sell your location data.
Short Answer: No, It Doesn’t
Pokemon Go is a game that thrives on your location, helping you catch, train, and battle with virtual Pokemons in your real-world surroundings. But does it sell this precious location data? Absolutely not.
The team behind Pokemon Go, including Niantic, Nintendo, and The Pokemon Company, have made it clear that player safety and data privacy are their top priorities. Your adventure through the real world in search of Pokemons is both safe and secure. The game itself is free-to-play, funding its development through in-app purchases, not by selling user data.
