I've looked in iOS settings and can't see anything other than mobile data on/off and Siri?

Apps now require to report what they collect and what tracking they are using. This information is available on app store page of the app.

I see that in the app privacy report, but it doesn’t ask for location permission. Not really sure what to think. Perhaps it’s just tracking/logging your IP’s geo location and that alone is enough to require disclosure?

It just tracks country/city info for internal stats based on IP address. Nothing more granular. Source: built it

Thanks for clarifying! Also I appreciate the honesty in disclosing geo ip analytics even though it be easily misinterpreted. Cheers
