Oh, the other replies didn't load for me at first. There's also this:

Ugh, that one bugs me so much. The boundaries are that the wife doesn't want to be tracked. By using this service at all, the husband is violating that boundary. That, and the "you have nothing to hide" mentality. Such a flawed mentality.
My wife and I use Life360 (yes I'm aware of what they do with data, currently trying to find an alternative), because I ride motorcycles and want my wife to know that I got to my destination safely, and she just likes sharing her location with me. Our kids have Pinwheel-managed smartphones, and even they know that I can see where they are at all times; it was a stipulation of them having smartphones in the first place.
It's amazing what consent brings to the table.
