In Sweden it is also a crime, dataintrång.
If data is entered into a system, and you do not have not received permission to read it, then obtaining access to it is the crime of dataintrång, which can lead to two years imprisonment. So if you make a device and sell it to a customer and it phones home without permission and in phoning home provides you with information he has entered into it, then you've committed dataintrång and can go to prison for up to two years.
I see no reason why GPS data and other automatically entered data would not be regarded as having been entered into the device.
