Questions about the pass_by data

Hello,

I have a few questions about the pass_by dataset:

  1. Is there an industry classification code for the data? It should cover "retail locations" but I've seen examples of restaurants, hotels, banks, and other type of businesses in the dataset. I'm wondering if any variable can help with filtering out these non-retail locations.
  2. Is the data collection process affected by recent changes in policies regarding privacy concerns (e.g. Apple's App Tracking Transparency)? Is there any structural change in the data? I understand that there are physical sensors in some of the stores. But I was wondering whether the data is re-calibrated or if the data has better coverage in some regions than others (urban vs rural for example).

Thank you!
