Location and GPS Data Requirements

This question asks whether your application needs access to users' physical location through GPS or other location services. Location data is highly sensitive personal information that's heavily regulated. Even if your app just wants to show local weather, you're handling data that could reveal where people live, work, and travel.

Unnecessary location access is a privacy red flag that can kill enterprise deals instantly. If you do need location data, you must handle it with extra security measures and comply with strict privacy laws. Being transparent about location usage and having strong justification helps pass security reviews, while unnecessary location requests suggest poor privacy practices.

Apps often request location access 'just in case' without a clear business need, raising immediate concerns. Another mistake is not clearly explaining why location is needed and how it's protected, leaving security reviewers to assume the worst.
