The “current location” dialogue
Some apps and websites use information about your current location to provide you with certain information, services and features appropriate to where you are. For example, an app might use your information to help you find nearby coffee shops or cinemas. Your location is approximated using data from nearby Wi-Fi networks.
Information about your location is collected by Location Services in a way that doesn’t personally identify you. The information is used only by the apps that you authorise to obtain it. This feature isn’t available in all countries or regions.
To authorise an app or a website to use your location information, click OK in the dialogue. If you don’t want to authorise the use of location information, click Don’t Allow.
If you allow third-party apps or websites to use your current location, any information they collect is governed by their terms and privacy policies. It’s recommended that you learn about the privacy practices of those parties.
