Why does SIKU need access to my location?
SIKU uses your device’s GPS (and other location services) to record your trip’s tracks, locate your posts on the map, and alert you of important safety information. To support these features, the SIKU app accesses your location information in the background, including when you are using a different app or your device’s screen is off.
SIKU only stores your location data for trips and posts that you explicitly create and never shares it with 3rd parties for any other reason without your consent.

Your device may periodically ask you to review your location permission for SIKU. It is very important that whenever prompted, you continue to grant SIKU permission the “always” or “all the time” permission.
