The coinmiles app is a fiat app, in that you are using credit cards in your name - which of course gives up your privacy. The location data is in regard to ensuring you're not buying gift cards from countries you can't spend them in.
Yes, if you are concerned about this then a fiat sats back app with credit cards requiring location info is not for you.
I use it myself. I keep any non KYC stuff I have separate.
Nowhere in the video do I say that this app is private - I would again assume that is implied when you load up your credit card information. For those looking to live a life with the best privacy and no compromises, stack non KYC, use cash, get a BTC circular economy going, coinjoin, but gift cards with lightning at various vendors that don't require an account, etc.

I've never heard of this app nor have I used it but that you can block most of if not all those scripts with an ad blocker, these are pretty standard tools, like firebase and Google Analytics, so you can see how your website, app performs, where apps crash, where pages 404, they help you keep your digital assets in check too. If you're a business you want to improve your service, and you want to track what is working/bringing you customers, if you don't your business dies
The majority of websites and apps use it or some version of it, so you'll likely have to boycott the entire web bar a tiny niche
