With the crazy malware and oparque permissions nobody really knows what's fully going on on Android though.

You could turn off the gps but that's too coarse: you might want it for some apps.

But that's how permissions work on Android though. You can grant them to an app when it's requested, or not. Or you can turn it off at the system level with the bug switch in the settings shade. I have an iPad and the permissions models are basically identical at this point.
