Until I see a GUARANTEE that NONE of my location data will ever be released I will NOT opt in for any type of tracking, even for the good of society, sorry. I have GPS tracking turned off on my phone and turn it on only when absolutely required, and then turn off again. I do NOT trust Google, and I have an Android phone and refuse to allow Google or any of the other services on this phone to access my location. I use manual control for this, I consider a little paranoia a good thing. The article I saw about this function specifically stated that location data would NOT be collected but somehow there would be notifications that you came in possible contact with a person that was positive, IMHO, that means somehow they KNOW where you are.....
