No. The Ting Sensor App is never used to track the location of your smartphone. This is true even if you happen to leave location services on after you install Ting.
Importantly, the location where Ting is installed is relevant to the Ting Service; in contrast, the location your smartphone with the Ting Sensor app is not.
Location information is only checked once from your smartphone at the time of installation to register the home location where Ting Service is being provided.

Whisker Labs does not check, consume or otherwise utilize location data from your smartphone once installation is complete.
To be clear, this is a ‘one-time’ location verification required for Ting service activation.
