When an app asks for access to your camera, microphone, contacts, photos, or location, that is called a permission.

Not every permission request is bad. But Level 2 means you stop granting them automatically.

Ask:

• does this app really need this permission?
• do I want it to have it all the time, only while I use it, or not at all?

Founder note: Corey built Lumoset because many people are told technology is “smart” but are not shown where they still have choices.

What to do:

• Review permissions for the apps you use most.
• Say no to permissions that do not make sense for the app.
• Change them later if you need to.
