17. That just protects the data stored on your personal device from being read.
Even if you manage to do that, the cellular service providers have software in the cell towers that stores the same data in the computer data warehouse. The cell companies even sell that information to third parties.

Protect your own copy of it all you want, but even the most primitive cell phone has it's location tracked and stored off site.

If anyone is concerned about this, then they shouldn't use a cell phone at all until privacy laws are updated.

George Orwell never dreamed about cell phones.
