Not sure about the interpretation of the one question, but I'm sure that this will do.

+## 3.7 Does this specification allow an origin access to a user’s location?
+
+Potentially, through IP-to-location mechanisms when the Service Worker issues a
+fetch.
+
+## 3.8 Does this specification allow an origin access to sensors on a user’s device?
+
+No.
+
+## 3.9 Does this specification allow an origin access to aspects of a user’s local computing environment?
+
+Yes, the push service selected by the device. In some cases, most commonly on
+desktop platforms, a user agent includes a push service client separate from the
+push service made available by the operating system.

I'm not sure what "access" means here.  The specification allows an origin to identify the push service.  I would say that the push service is selected by the user agent and that that might use the same push service as other applications.
