If you trust Tesco with access to your calendar, email, location and network connection info and let their app run at startup... well, you're a lot more trusting with your information than I am.

Or maybe you have a sacrificial device that you don't use for anything else and leave switched off otherwise.
Merely saying my experience of using the app to shop. Others have had negative experiences of home delivery: mine has been all positive.

On what device please does the app require such access?

Those are the permissions listed on its Google Play Store page.

I have just installed the app on my phone and no such permissions were requested.

Thanks. I don’t have an android device.

Works fine on an iPhone with permissions disabled where possible.
