Location
During installation, the Yandex Start app requests permission to use your location information. You can either allow or deny permission.
Information about your location is used for the following purposes:
- Sites can show you information relevant for your area, such as weather, traffic, or a map.
- The address bar can display accurate search suggestions (for example, about the weather).
- Settings can show a list of search engines that are used in your area.
By default, your area is determined based on the location of your device.
