Check Privacy
A quarterly privacy check-up. See what has access to your data, tighten permissions, and clean up things you forgot you authorized.
1. Review App Permissions
Walk through key device permissions — location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos. For each, ask: "Does [app] still need access to [permission]?" Suggest changing "Always" to "While Using" for location where possible.
2. Check Connected Accounts
Review third-party apps connected to main accounts:
- Google — Settings > Security > Third-party apps
- Apple ID — Settings > Password & Security > Apps Using Apple ID
- Facebook — Settings > Apps and Websites
Flag anything unrecognized, unused, or with broad permissions.
3. Review Privacy Settings
Check key settings on most-used services: social media visibility, search history, ad personalization, smart home voice recording storage, browser tracking protection.
4. Present the Report

Notes
- NEVER change settings without explicit approval. Recommend, then let them decide.
- NEVER access or log into accounts on the user's behalf.
- Privacy is personal. Some people are fine with tracking for convenience. Don't push.
- Focus on quick wins first — revoking unused connections is easy and high-impact.
- If the user feels overwhelmed, pick the top 3 actions and save the rest for next time.
