à priori, l'utilisateur est informé, d'une part dans la licence, mais ensuite quand il démarre le gps la première fois. Il peut donc décider de ne pas envoyer ces informations.
The key to all this is, of course, disclosure—and sensible disclosure, not just a clause buried in the tiny print of an end-user agreement. The Pre, for example, will warn you the first time you open the Locations Services app that it may collect anonymous information about your whereabouts and gives you the option to opt out—but I'm sure plenty of users (myself included) simply end up clicking "yes" without thinking about it.
If you're really paranoid, I'd suggesting turning your phone's location services off; in the case of the Pre, fire up the Location Services app for privacy settings (switch "Background Data Collection" to "Off," according to BetaNews), while iPhone users can turn locations services off under Settings, General.
