What's not clear is if AccuWeather, which has an ad-free paid in-app-purchase, would still send this information even if someone opted out of ads that way. If this information was sent even from the paid users' devices, that would be even worse!

@willstrafach, any idea about this?

This is a very good point, I have not tested the behavior of AccuWeather for paying users.
