REVIEW ACCESSwhat still needs permission

Revisit privacy settings as products change, then remove connected apps that no longer need access.

Privacy settings and connected apps create two different exposures. Settings drift when products add features, change policies, and introduce new defaults. Connected apps can keep reaching into an account long after their original job has ended.

Revisit the settings on important services, especially after major product changes. Remove integrations whose access is unused, excessive, or unclear.
