   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.
