Placer.ai's tactic

Life360 · B2C · family location sharing app

Sell only grouped location data, not raw GPS feeds, to a data partner
About $20M+ a year from Placer.ai; still some bad press

Previously sold de-identified raw GPS feeds to third parties for location-based ad targeting (filtering sensitive locations). Stopped after repeated bad press and regulator/FTC scrutiny. Now sells aggregated data by census block through Placer.ai (e.g. a retailer sees '72% of visitors came from this census block', no raw GPS lines). Rule: be transparent and the CEO uses any data product himself.
