We receive about 1 million fresh scans each week

Is that what Pokemon Go is about? Is there a comprehensive description of how Niantic does business and the games, data collection and processing relate?

It asks you to scan poke stops for some kind of reward. So I'm assuming it's a big part of it.

Presumably they know what the poke stop is and can use this in their models. Like near me one is church and the other is the village hall.
