Hi, i would like to draw the attention of you, the people with more expertise than I to another app that at least for me is more terrifying Xiaomi Mi Fit (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiaomi.hm....), because it also takes all the intrusive permissions (modify system settings?!), but also takes all this info and combines it with your health data. Furthermore it is very hard to find it's privacy policy (I may have seen it once during registration in the app and it said "it's scattered around the terms and aggreements). This comment may be burried, but I hope at least someone, who's better in this than I will check it

Modify system settings permission is needed when your app needs to change network state. Previously using the Change Network State permission was enough, but since Android 6 it's no longer suffice. I imagine that app probably need to access the watch accessory over Bluetooth and need that permission to make the Bluetooth turn on automatically.
