Does Storage Studio collect my location?
Short answer: No. Storage Studio never uses Location Services or GPS. The only geography involved is the country you pick at registration and a coarse country or region seen from your connection (Delta Drive's Activity screen and a recovery kit's certificate also note the city) — never a precise location.

Two things touch geography, both coarse: you choose your country from a list when you register for the trial, and our server may note the country and region a connection comes from so the team can see roughly where the app is used. If you use Delta Drive, its Activity screen also shows the country and city each sign-in or request came from, so you can spot one that wasn't you; and a Delta Trust recovery kit's certificate records the city and network where the kit was made. None of this is a precise location, and there's no permission prompt.
If macOS asks for location after you move an app, that request comes from that app, not Storage Studio: macOS remembers permissions by an app's location, so a moved app may ask again.
