The bluetooth permissions are used for triggering auto start and stop recording based on bluetooth connect/disconnect events.

Draw over other apps is required to allow LVR to continue recording in the background.

Prevent device from sleeping allows LVR to keep the screen on when the app is running. (The app should still sleep as usual when LVR is recording in the background, this only applies when the app is open and visible).

Device & app history

• Read logs

There is a hidden menu option to send logs to the developer to help diagnose issues. This has to be manually invoked. LVR can only read its own logs, no other apps', and will only prepare an email containing these logs for sending, LVR has no permission to send data out, you will have to manually send the email.
