Sorry, missed that.

However - I don't see any privacy issue here. Coarse location means,
your device will try to get a location based on a triangulation of the
connected base stations. This will happen *always* as long as your
device is connected to a mobile network, even if you don't use any app
at all! To avoid this you need to turn off mobile networking completely,
which means remove the SIM and do not let you device connect to a mobile
network at all.
