Kuwait #Shlonik, Bahrain #BeAwareBahrain and Norway #Smittestopp all conduct GPS tracking of their users. After they are installed, latitudes and longitude are recorded and later uploaded to their central servers at different frequencies: from every few minutes to every hour. 😬
Both the apps from Kuwait and Norway also conduct Bluetooth contact tracing, and both also automatically upload records of contact to a central server allowing live monitoring of people's "contacts".
