I hated ads already, but this is beyond the pale. Even if an ad-supported app claimed not to track you or your location, it was likely doing so indirectly through the simple act of having ads. It's also weird seeing Microsoft's Office app in the list. Does it have ads? Either way, kill it, and ads, with fire.
