                              When to Say NO                                    Managing App Permissions
                              Understanding the Risks of Over-Permission        Tips to Stay Safe

                      Every time an app asks for permission, it is really asking for access to a part of your
                      digital life. Some requests are perfectly normal, like using the camera for photos,

                      while others reach into personal areas such as your contacts or location. Not all apps
                      need everything they ask for. This chapter will help you decide which permissions to

                      allow and which to refuse to keep your privacy safe.

                                        “App permissions are like giving a guest a visitor’s pass to your

                                      phone. You should only grant apps access to what they truly need.
                                                             Let’s learn more about this.”

                      APP PERMISSIONS

                      Apps often request permission to access certain features
                      on a device. These permissions  help apps  function
                      properly, but they can also pose risks if not managed

                      carefully.
