# Can Marc track people or their location?

Marc does not include GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, microphones, cameras, or any type of sensor.  
It does not know where a user is, or where the brochure physically is.

### **So what does “location” mean in the dashboard?**

When a Marc connects to the cellular network, it receives a **cell tower ID** as part of the normal network connection process.

We use this **tower ID only to estimate how many different places a Marc has been engaged**, not where it is located.

This means:

- It does **not** identify the person who opened it
- It does **not** show addresses or exact locations
- It does **not** provide GPS coordinates
- It simply counts how many different areas the Marc was used in

### **Why does the location sometimes appear inaccurate?**

The approximate location shown in the dashboard is derived from a **publicly available database of cell tower locations**.  
This data is **not intended for precise location tracking**.  
Its purpose is to show **whether a Marc was engaged in multiple locations**, not to identify where those locations are.
