Privacy And Connected Apps¶
Use this page when SigID asks whether an app can access account information, or when you want to understand what an app may know about you.
What A Consent Prompt Means¶
Before the user approves, have them check four things on the prompt: the app name, the workspace or organization name if one is shown, the information or access being requested, and that they started this sign-in or connection flow themselves.
Explain each requested item in plain terms using the Common Requests table on this page.
Verify before moving on: every requested item makes sense for the app the user is trying to use.
If any request does not make sense or the flow was not started by the user, have them decline or close the prompt instead of approving.
A consent prompt means an app is asking SigID for permission to use certain account information or access. Before approving, check:
- the app name
- the workspace or organization name, if one is shown
- the information or access being requested
- whether you started this sign-in or connection flow
Only approve prompts that make sense for the app you are trying to use.
Common Requests¶
| Request | Plain meaning |
|---|---|
| Profile | The app can read basic profile details, such as your display name or avatar if available. |
| The app can use your email address to match or contact your account. | |
| Organization or workspace membership | The app can know which workspace, team, or organization your account belongs to. |
| Offline access | The app may stay connected after you close the browser, until the access expires or is removed. |
The exact prompt may use shorter words than this table. If a request does not make sense, do not approve it.
Review Or Remove Access¶
Have the user open the account, profile, security, or connected-apps area linked from the app or SigID account controls, when it is available.
Remove access for apps the user no longer uses, does not recognize, that hold access the user does not want, or that were connected from a shared or temporary device.
Warn before removing: the app may ask them to sign in or approve consent again next time, and removal may not delete data the app already stored; point them to that app's privacy or support channel for data deletion.
Verify before finishing: the unwanted app no longer appears in the connected-apps list.
Use the account, profile, security, or connected-apps area linked from the app or SigID account controls when it is available.
Remove access when:
- you no longer use the app
- you do not recognize the app
- the app has access you do not want it to keep
- you used a shared or temporary device
After removing access, the app may ask you to sign in or approve consent again the next time you use it. Removing access may not delete data the app already stored. Use that app's privacy or support channel if you need data removed.
