| Privacy settings | Choose privacy settings when the user needs durable controls over ongoing data collection, saved activity, profile visibility, data sharing, personalization, app access, or device privacy permissions. | Opening privacy settings shows authoritative current values, not blank defaults, marketing copy, or a privacy-policy-only page. | Supports device privacy settings for app access to data categories and granting or revoking future access. |
