And Google is not the only assimilator... 8-O
"Nordstrom, the store that the New York Times focuses on in its piece
(although it's not the only one doing this) installed sensors around
some of its stores that would scan for smartphones with Wi-Fi turned on
and scanning for networks. The sensors would then make note of the
device's MAC address (an address that's unique to your phone) and use it
to identify and follow the device as it moves about the store.
Information about how frequently that MAC address visits the store,
which departments it visits when it's in the store, how long it stays in
each department, and how long it stays in the store. Granted, you are
not your phone's MAC address, but if you carry your phone with you all
the time, you may as well be. As the NYT explains:
Nordstrom’s experiment is part of a movement by retailers to gather
data about in-store shoppers’ behavior and moods, using video
surveillance and signals from their cellphones and apps to learn
information as varied as their sex, how many minutes they spend in the
candy aisle and how long they look at merchandise before buying it."
