App Settings Not all App settings can be changed. If you’re uncomfortable

with the information and permission that the app requires, I recommend removing the Application.

Understanding Privacy and the Use of Apps & GamesWhile most Apps and Games are free, you pay for them by sharing your information.

To sign up for an App or Game, you must give it permission to do certain things. This can include accessing your profile data, posting on your Wall, and viewing information about your Friends.
