Q: When does the mobile app request these permissions?

Permissions are generally requested the first time a user tries to access a feature. For instance, on iOS, notification permission is typically requested at first login. Quinyx only requests camera permission when a user wants to take a photo. If the user wants to upload an existing photo, Quinyx requests access to the photo library instead without asking for camera permission.

Users can choose not to grant these permissions, but this may prevent them from using certain features, such as uploading a profile photo or receiving notifications.
Q: Does the app ask for permissions even if the features aren't used?

No, users who never open a feature (e.g., the camera) will not be prompted to grant access to that service. Permissions are only requested when needed.
