The OMRON app requires specific permissions. 

Below is a listing of permissions required for the OMRON iOS app and how we use them:
    1.    Bluetooth: Bluetooth permission is required to allowed to enable communication with OMRON monitors. 
    2.    Location: To enable data transfer in the background from OMRON monitors, iOS devices used Apple’s iBeacon functionality. To use this, location permission is required. 
    3.    Camera access: This permission is required because the app allows you to add a profile photo to your account. This is also used when adding medication images.
    4.    Photo Gallery access: This permission is required because the app allows you to add a profile photo to your account. This is also used when adding medication images.
    5.    System Notification access: This permission is required if you are using HeartGuide™ and need to get notified on HeartGuide™ when your phone receives an SMS, call, or email.

Below is a listing of the permissions for the OMRON Android app and how we use them:
    1.    Location: This permission is required for device pairing via Bluetooth, which works by identifying nearby external devices through a scanning function.
    2.    Photos/Media/Files: This permission is required because the app allows you to add a profile photo to your account. Although media and files are typically grouped with the photos in your smart device, we will not use your media and files.
    3.    Contacts: This permission is required if you are using HeartGuide™ to display your contact’s name on HeartGuide™ when someone calls or sends messages.
    4.    Phone Calls: This permission is required if you are using HeartGuide™ to send call notifications to your HeartGuide™.
    5.    SMS: This permission is required if you are using HeartGuide™ in order to read and receive text message (SMS) notifications to your HeartGuide™.
Please note, you do not have to allow access to these permissions. If you wish to review and/or disable some of these permissions, please navigate to your mobile device settings.
Note that OMRON connect US/CAN/EMEA does not track or store your location information. 

If you’re pairing or syncing your monitor with an iOS/Android device, you may be prompted to turn on “location services”.
Location services access is required by Google to perform Bluetooth communication. Google changed its permission requirements beginning with Android OS 6.0. As a result, the “locations permission” is necessary to sync your OMRON monitors with your Android device. 
For more information visit the link below:
https://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0-changes.html#behavior-hardware-id

For iOS, location permission is required to support the “iBeacon” functionality of OMRON blood pressure monitors. With this capability, your readings will be transferred to the application without opening the application. If you deny location services, the app will not be able to sync data from the monitor.
 

 

The OMRON connect US/CAN/EMEA app needs the locations services option on your phone to be turned on to perform the Bluetooth low energy scans required to sync your monitors. 
Google added the locations permission requirement to alleviate concerns that Bluetooth beacons can be used to track your location without your permission during a Bluetooth low energy scan, such as the scan required to sync your monitors. By granting the OMRON connect US/CAN/EMEA app permission to access your location, your monitor will be able to sync, but your location won't be recorded or tracked by OMRON connect US/CAN/EMEA app.
For more information about Bluetooth technology, visit the Bluetooth Special Interest Group's website at bluetooth.com.
For details about the Google permission requirements, see Google's Android 6.0 Changes document:
https://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0-changes.html#behavior-hardware-id
