For example, a third-party program might use data from personal information management (PIM) programs or connections from programs such as the phone. On the Permissions screen, if you set a permission field to Allow, you are granting third-party programs access to that program or connection. If you set a permission field to Prompt, you are prompted whenever a third-party program requests access to that program or connection.
