What Are Third-Party App Permissions?

Third-party app permissions allow external apps to access certain data from your Google or Apple account, such as emails, contacts, calendar events, and location. Managing these permissions ensures apps only access what’s necessary and prevents data misuse.

Why Review Third-Party App Permissions?

• Prevent Data Leaks: Stops apps from collecting excessive personal information.
• Enhance Security: Reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your Google and Apple accounts.
• Limit Access to Inactive Apps: Removes apps that no longer need your data.
