Inventory every prompt
Record permission name, timing, app version and feature being used. A request at first launch has a different context from one triggered by document capture.
This page is a decision worksheet built around a specific search task. It separates observable records, first-party wording and unresolved claims so the conclusion can be checked again after a material change.
Test necessity
Deny the permission first where the operating system allows it and observe which function fails. Core browsing should not depend on contacts, call logs or device administration.
Use narrow access
Prefer selected photos, one-time camera or approximate location over broad permanent access. Revoke a permission after the task if the app does not need it continuously.
Question high-risk capabilities
Accessibility, notification reading, screen capture, SMS and installation privileges can expose authentication or financial data. Require a strong documented reason and trusted source.
Review after updates
A new version may add capabilities or change the privacy policy. Compare the permission inventory and remove access from an app that is no longer used.
KYC does not justify unlimited device access
Identity verification should request the minimum information required through a secure, explained route. Never grant remote screen control or share live authentication codes to help support complete a document review.
Questions this page resolves
Does a casino app need contacts?
Usually not for core account or game functions; ask for the exact feature and deny unnecessary access.
Can I revoke camera access after KYC?
Yes, if no ongoing feature requires it; verify the app still works for your intended tasks.
Why review permissions after an update?
Updates can introduce new capabilities, SDKs or collection practices.
