If they were interested in my location they could request location data. What are the odds they are doing this to directly market products to people based on health data?

Of course, yes they do. This appears to be one more layer on top of it. And surely they wouldn’t share that information with the pharmacy, right?

The walmart app does this. If im in a store and want to find what isle it's in, I'll pull it up, and it'll know what store I'm in.
