Location: To provide location-based services (Bluetooth request)
Location access is technically important when accessing Bluetooth devices for the following reasons:
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Scanning:
BLE technology is widely used for location-based applications such as fitness trackers, smartwatches, and IoT devices. Precise BLE scanning and device discovery require location services to be enabled. BLE beacons enable the determination of the relative location of devices, and access to location data ensures precise discovery and interaction.
Geofencing:
Geofencing involves drawing virtual boundaries around a geographical area. When a Bluetooth device enters or leaves these boundaries, certain actions can be triggered. Location access is essential for precisely defining and monitoring these geofences.
Device detection and pairing:
When pairing with Bluetooth devices, knowing the user's location can help identify and list nearby devices. This is especially useful in environments with multiple Bluetooth-enabled devices to ensure the user connects to the correct device.
Security and Compliance:
Some regions have regulations that require apps to disclose when they access location information, particularly in conjunction with Bluetooth. Adhering to location access regulations helps ensure compliance with these legal requirements.
Extended functionality:
Location access can enhance the functionality of Bluetooth-enabled applications, such as location-based notifications, automated actions based on proximity, and enhanced tracking features. For example, a health app can monitor and log your location during a run or workout.
b. APIs with access to sensitive information: We use third-party APIs to enhance the functionality of our app. These APIs may collect and process sensitive data, such as:
Google Maps API: For location services
Firebase Analytics: For app usage analytics
