## Why do openScale needs permission to the coarse location?
The answer is simple because the Android API >= 6.0 needs access to the coarse location to search for Bluetooth devices. The App openScale doesn't read your location at any time. Read the official [Android Bluetooth Developer Guide](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/bluetooth-le.html#permissions) or read the [Android 6.0 Changelog](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0-changes.html#behavior-hardware-id) for a more technical description.
