About permissions and trust status for third-party applications
You or your administrator can set permissions that control how third-party applications on your BlackBerry smartphone
interact with the other applications on your smartphone. For example, you can control whether third-party applications can
access data or the Internet, make calls, or track your location. Some applications require specific permissions to work.
If you have added a third-party application to your smartphone, your smartphone is designed to prevent the application from
sending or receiving data without your knowledge. The first time that you open a third-party application, you might be
prompted to trust the application or to set permissions for it. If you trust the application, your smartphone sets most
permissions for the application to Allow. You can change the permissions for a specific application or all applications in the
smartphone options.

your smartphone, contact your wireless service provider or administrator.

About BlackBerry Balance technology
If your BlackBerry smartphone uses a BlackBerry Enterprise Server that supports BlackBerry Balance technology, your
smartphone can distinguish between work data and personal data. Your work data is treated differently than your personal
data. For example, depending on the IT policies your administrator sets, your organization might prevent you from pasting
work data into a personal email.
Your administrator can delete only your work data from your smartphone, and leave your personal data and applications
intact. Some of your personal data might be deleted from your smartphone if it overlaps with your work data (for example, a
personal contact who works in your organization).
For more information, contact your administrator.
