Why does the app need to collect location data?

  1. Information Collection 1.1 Required Permissions Location: Used solely to determine local sunset times; location data is not stored or transmitted

    Yeah exactly, thanks!

    Wouldn't checking the time (which should include TZ data) and comparing it with a database be adequate or can you not get local timezone data without permissions?

      You can get local timezone data without permissions in iOS. But I think the OP's app is using the location data to ensure you walked a few meters to touch grass and not just have a patch of grass at your desk.

      no, the timezones can be very very long north to south

  Presumably you don't need to let the app have access for it to work?
