Principles for Access Requests

  • Minimal Permission Principle: Request only the permissions essential for functionality; do not over-request.
  • Principle of On-Demand Permission Requests: Request non-essential permissions only when the relevant features are needed, rather than requesting all permissions at startup.
  • Transparency Principle: Clearly inform users of the purpose and consequences of denial for each permission request.
  • User Control Principle: Users may decline any non-essential permissions. Declining affects only specific features and does not impact the normal use of other functionality.
  • Revocable: Users can revoke granted permissions at any time in system settings.
