Not in consumer context for sure.
Ultimately with any service you’re only protected by your contract and the PR value of a breach of trust. Unless you’re using an open source app and rolling your own sync, an app where trust is paramount (1Password), or one where a misstep is a huge media hit (Apple), you’re at the mercy of that company.
Microsoft fwiw, probably uses location to spot fraud and is unlikely to breach user trust imo.
