It looks like this is the creepiest of all the ways "they" get your location:

There are 3 operating systems running in any phone:

* iOS / Android * The SIM card JVM * The baseband RTOS

And Qualcomm is in most phones, running their RexOS, which Has that IzAt service, which has full access to memory, GPS, etc, and uses this access to send your location data to Qualcomm / the carrier.
