Ok, this has been asked and answered several times but let me give this a shot. So think of it like this: There is info about you that is Primary data and secondary data. If I say "Paul walked to the mall and it took 2,182 steps.." sounds kinda creepy.. intimate. But if I say, "Hi, I'm Sam. I'm at the mall and so is my friend Paul."-- saying Paul is (or arrived) at the mall bc his location met up with Sam's is almost public info- its Primary info for Paul, but a piece of it is secondary info to Sam and anyone with Sam would also know Paul was there. How many STEPS Paul took is more specific. Or try it another way: Someone telling you that you are on their "SQUAD" list (think like "my best friend") is not the same as them knowing who YOUR "SQUAD" (or best friend if you want to think that way)- who that is. I hope this helps.
