Security/Privacy Risk - Beware Buyer

Anyone interested in purchasing these LED lights should be aware of the security and privacy risks you risk when purchasing Nexilumi LED strips. These lights require you to download a third-party app, rumored to be from the same company that sells them on Revain. The app requires you to always allow location access before they even ask for Bluetooth access, which is what these lights are actually for. If you don't allow access, the lights are essentially paper lane scales. They won't work at all. The problem is that there is no reason. Anyway to give the app access to your phone's physical location. do you go grocery shopping Your LED indicator in your phone will detect this and send it to the app owners who are based in China. do you go to your parents The app picks it up and sends it to China. do you go to your work Do you understand. There is no reason for this company to require access to your GPS coordinates. What they do with this information is unclear because they have not responded to my numerous emails asking me to provide them with this information. Please be careful. They are probably selling this and profiting from your data that you paid for and voluntarily uploaded to your phone. This is a privacy risk and needs to be addressed immediately.
