I think what's really happening is your app is in a grey area. There's similar apps on the market which haven't been removed, and a mountain which have. Now yours has been removed since someone thought it straddled the line the wrong way too far, and there is no incentive to restore it. That would require affirming that they specifically condone it again. Nobody has any special interest in doing so.

No matter how much you make concessions and try to obey the rules, a surveillance app is always shady. Much like brothels still have a shady atmosphere even where it's legal. Some markets are so.
