Can it get the wifi SSID? Is that a permissioned property on Android/iOS? I believe there are companies that build databases of SSIDs and their locations by driving around, so if an app can get wifi info it could be pinpointed to a pretty specific location.

>Can it get the wifi SSID? Is that a permissioned property on Android/iOS? It requires location permissions since forever ago, specifically because of the risk you described.

  What about Bluetooth? I think it there are enough intentional and unintentional beacons around that it's possible to have some localization info with their MACs. Does this require permission?
