In a complaint filed Monday in US District Court, the Federal Trade Commission said Kochava Inc.'s data can show mobile device users' visits to abortion clinics, places of worship, homeless and domestic violence shelters, and other sensitive locations.

Cox said the company has already taken steps to remove sensitive location data from its marketplace and is"constantly monitoring and proactively adjusting" its technology"to block geo data from other sensitive locations."
