The Device That’s Tracking Your Every Move…And it’s in Your Hand

“Phones have become a necessary part of modern life,” Kevin Bankston told the New York Times. “You have to hand over your personal privacy to be part of the 21st century.” Bankston is a lawyer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a privacy expert.

The Device Thats Tracking Your Every Move...And its in Your Hand

So just how intrusive are our cellphones? Just how much information about us are they tracking? This is a question that Malte Spitz, the German Green party politician you see below, sought to answer.

The New York Times reports (h/t Forbes):

German Green party politician, Malte Spitz, recently learned [that] we are already continually being tracked whether we volunteer to be or not. Cellphone companies do not typically divulge how much information they collect, so Mr. Spitz went to court to find out exactly what his cellphone company, Deutsche Telekom, knew about his whereabouts.

The details are astonishing:

In a six-month period — from Aug 31, 2009, to Feb. 28, 2010, Deutsche Telekom had recorded and saved his longitude and latitude coordinates more than 35,000 times. It traced him from a train on the way to Erlangen at the start through to that last night, when he was home in Berlin.

But cellphone companies can’t exactly help it. As Matthew Blaze, a professor of information technology at the University of Pennsylvania explains, cellphone carriers need to track you so that they can provide you with the strongest cell signal. “At any given instant, a cell company has to know where you are; it is constantly registering with the tower with the strongest signal.”

The Device Thats Tracking Your Every Move...And its in Your Hand

The uses of this information can be far and wide-reaching–extending to law enforcement:

In the United States, there are law enforcement and safety reasons for cellphone companies being encouraged to keep track of its customers. Both the F.B.I. and the Drug Enforcement Administration have used cellphone records to identify suspects and make arrests.

If the information is valuable to law enforcement, it could be lucrative for marketers. The major American cellphone providers declined to explain what exactly they collect and what they use it for.

Verizon, for example, declined to elaborate other than to point to its privacy policy, which includes: “Information such as call records, service usage, traffic data,” the statement in part reads, may be used for “marketing to you based on your use of the products and services you already have, subject to any restrictions required by law.”

Sense Networks, a company that works with AT&T data, uses anonymous location information “to better understand aggregate human activity.” One product, CitySense, makes recommendations about local nightlife to customers who choose to participate based on their cellphone usage. (Many smartphone apps already on the market are based on location but that’s with the consent of the user and through GPS, not the cellphone company’s records.)

So as our lives become increasingly tech-centric and digitized, so our privacy begins to erode.

The Wall Street Journal has been running a fascinating series of articles called “What They Know” about, in the Journal’s words, “one of the fastest growing businesses on the Internet.” What business is that? “The business of spying on American consumers.” Check it out here.

    I do not carry one. I like my quiet time in the car, where no one can bug me and I can think. I recently rode in the car with my sister and her teenage kids… all were on their phones the whole trip… it was just awful. Hang up. Regain your sanity. Get to know your family again. Let Obama stay up tonight worrying about where you are.

I’ve also noticed some other gliches going on. So many have complained about facilitating the means for response to a particular individual that I think they are finally paying attention. Wish to goodness they’d get rid of those stupid sidebar pop ups directing you to the next story! I hate those things and really don’t want to download a program to combat them. Why don’t they just eliminate them? I’m smart enough to find the “next” story and most times don’t want to read their suggested “next” story or have already read it.

    I have a problem with the constant tracking, but I know that it is there. On the other hand I sorta encourage the technology and the fact that the police can have access to the tracking in case of an emergency.

    BUT

    I can see where the Gov’t could become dependent on this technology and Their skills in people finding the old fashion way will rust. That will become adventagious when people just “fall off the grid” and disappear. Hiding in plain sight via “radio silence”.

      The story on cellphones is just a good example of all the lies that are told to us to make us think that its all about safety. For example, the rule that says you must turn off your phone on an airplane due to safety concerns, is a lie that has been repeated so many times it has become the truth. Originally, the whole safety ploy about phones on planes was just that…a lie. The reason for it was back in the old analog cell days, cell phone companies didnt want you to use your phone on a plane for a very different reason other than safety. When you made a call back then, the phone would connect to the nearest tower and place the call, however the time you were billed was based on the time recorded during the call on that tower, or perhaps several towers if you were travelling in a car at the time. Back then, when you used a phone on a plane, you would be moving so fast and tripping through so many towers or even multiple towers at once, essentially they couldnt track your usage, and therefore they could not bill you for your airtime…..hence the “safety issue” that causes all of us to be told to turn our phones off when the airplane door shuts. I guess if you makeup a lie and reapeat it time after time for long enough, it becomes the “truth”.

      OK, so when somebody calls IN to your cell phone, is the phone company supposed to broadcast a message from every cell tower in the world saying “Hey saneromeo, somebody is trying to call you. can you please tell us how to get hold of you?

      So at the very least, the cell company needs to know the last cell tower you connected to. As for your GPS coordinates, that’s overkill for locating you for phone calls, but it does make it easier to know which tower to connect you with for signal quality.

      Data retention for more than 15 minutes is another matter entirely.

Having said that, you should always do your homework on the companies that you use for whatever service. And continue to monitor them to make sure they dont do underhanded things.

      You are incorrect, there is a GPS chipset in every phone. Hence the upgrade of phones in the whole E911 fiasco. You can turn them off/on but they are on by default. I know this because I worked for both T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless for five years. Yes, your phone does bounce off towers and they can triagulate you within 15 meters that way but if you have the chipset turned on, they can see within ten feet of where you are. Make sure to turn them off. Also, if you have a smartphone, when you take your first picture it asks you if you want to allow GPS to help with your pictures, tell it NO. It embeds GPS coordinates into the picture of exactly where you are at when the pic is taken.

      I agree the phone hunts for the signal not the company and towers.

      If you can, shut the phone off until you need it. I know that is hard in this day and age when many now have only a cell phone vs landline. Honestly though when you are in the car you dont need it and shouldnt be on it, when you are at the movies, out to dinner leave it off( esp these places as it is deemed rude to be on one in those places anyway) business meetings, party etc leave it off. I dont know what ppl are talking so much about that it cant wait til they get to the office or home in the first place.
      I use to go through 5000 minutes a month when I was a rep for a bank I had to be on it didnt have a choice. That said I was always astounded to see ppl on the phone where I thought “what could be so important to be on the phone at the gym? Are they closing a 6 figure deal/sale?” Of course we know most arent, but even I left the thing in the car at places like those I listed.

      In a nutshell its called common sense, use it when cell phone etiquette applies as it may also keep big brother err sister from being on your back!

Also, the FCC has E911 requirements regarding a PSAP (public safety answering point) being able to locate you in case you complete a call to 911 (handled by the PSAP), but cannot otherwise explain to them where you are, say because you are injured or in an area that us unfamiliar to you. Out West, a woman was located after being missing for several days by using a triangulation feature, and it saved her life.There are literally hundreds of such stories every year in the US.

      I don’t like the big brother implications either, so if you are concerned, turn off your phone until you need it; and bring a pad of paper and a pen so you can write down the voice mail messages you missed. :-)

      Haven’t had a cell in years.

      Thanks to tv series like CSI, we’ve known for years that they can easily find you through your cell.

      Think twice before you use Skype to call others. Who wants to bet that anyone (read big bro) cannot utilize that little camera on your monitor to ‘spy’ on you even when computer is off? Windows roams around freely in your computer when it’s off………. probably others too.

      When I read book 1984 in the 60s, I thought no way they can track us through our tv’s. Hah! Big brother is on the job 24/7, a nosy old coot, a real pain in the tush and ever so anxious to know all that ‘he’ possibly can about every American.

      We make it soooo easy for them! All in the name of convenience. Who wants to be found 24/7 anyway? Not me. Living on 22 wooded acres in the country is a blessing.

      @AWAKEANDALIVE2…..you are correct, there is no cell reception at altitude on planes now, but in the old days of analog cell service, I used to talk on my phone at 10-12000ft….digital doesnt work that way now though.

      @TXPILOT – but it can still become a flying projectile in the event of a sudden halt (aka: accident) – so put your darn cell phone away.

      Makes you wonder why on earth we continue to use them. My guess is that if all heck breaks lose, the cell phones will be used to find the “trouble makers”, the ones that they deem so anyway. Might want to ditch them when the crap hits the fan.
