Does Emblem store precise location history?

Emblem uses precise device location when a user activates location features, including checking collection at a real place. If a user separately allows background location, it can support optional nearby-Emblem alerts. Emblem does not sell individual movement histories.

Collection activity and progress can be stored with the account, while partner reporting is bounded and aggregate rather than a sale of an individual's movement history.
