location + time + song = exact match

I wonder how many people actually end up connecting to the store wifi.

[Xeanort → dave5104]

I think they could just get your MAC address if you have your WiFi turned on, without you actually connecting.

iOS doesn’t allow this any longer.

Or you install a DAS in the store and monitor the traffic of phones connected to that.
