Indeed. Our app once required location permissions because - get this - a webkit view used for settings used jQuery, which did some kind of screen orientation thing that somehow required location be turned on from the app.

I think a jQuery update fixed it, but don't recall. It wasn't simple to track down either.

Disclosure: I work on a Sonos competitor [1] that tracks customer data purely for product improvement and is fully opt-out-able.
