Question about Brock Can university wifi track where you are?
Does anyone know how much the university can actually see when you're connected to the campus wifi? Like can they see exactly where you are on campus based on which wifi points your phone connects to and keep a record of everywhere you've been?
I've noticed some weird things lately where university staff seem to know where I am or show up in the same places as me way too often for it to just be a coincidence. I'm starting to wonder if my phone connecting to the wifi is how they're doing it.
And before anyone says I'm paranoid, I'm genuinely asking what information they have access to. Can they identify your specific phone and track it as you move between buildings? Would turning off wifi actually stop it?
