   As long as that BSSID is not openly linked to you, the person, than there is   
   no privacy issue present.   
      
   Also, I take it you have disabled the "A" part of your device(s) A-GPS* ?   
      
   * If not, your smartphone asking Apple for the coordinates of nearby BSSIDs   
   gives your own location away.   
      
   As for your "legally binding policy" claim ?:   You have claimed facts *way*   
   to often to believe you without having hard evidence for it.   
      
   And you misssed the whole point (but whats new) : you are throwing so much   
   data around that you can't control and even *need* to throw around   
   (smartphone) that removing that BSSID and its coordinates from a database   
   doesn't really help.
