You can disable location services and remove other services in your device’s settings if available, depending on your operating system.
For example, Google Play shows you which permission groups an app will be able to access. This information can help you decide whether you want to install the app. We ask you to refer to the Google Play permissions list to decide if your wish to download the app.
