Section 03

Location Data

Locomi may request location permission because local discovery is a core part of certain Services. We will request device permissions through the operating system where required.

Where a feature only requires general local information, we may use approximate location or a locality selected by the user. Precise location is only accessed where necessary and with the permissions you grant.

Important: Locomi does not continuously track your precise location unless a specific feature clearly requires background location access, you are informed about that feature, and the necessary device permissions have been granted.
