Location Permission Prompt

A location permission prompt asks a device or browser user whether a website may access location information.

A location permission prompt asks a device or browser user whether a website may access location information. A lawn care site might request permission to help identify nearby service coverage, but it should explain why the information is useful and offer a manual ZIP code option. Permission can be denied or location readings can be imprecise, so the service should not become unusable when access is unavailable. Location access is different from typing an address into a form, and the business must handle any collected location data responsibly. Ask only when the feature needs it rather than surprising people on their first visit.
