💡 Why a Pre-Modal? (UX Rationale)

The browser's native GPS permission dialog gives no context — users often deny by default because they don't know why the site needs their location.

By showing our modal first, we explain the purpose ("find nearby storage") and give the privacy guarantee ("not stored on our servers"). This follows GDPR/DPDP best practice of purpose-first consent and significantly increases the location permission grant rate.
