Do you mean which devices, files, accounts, or data third-party apps can access?

If so, the general ways to control it are:

  • Check app permissions
    Go to your device’s settings and review permissions like:

    • Location
    • Camera
    • Microphone
    • Contacts
    • Photos
    • Files
    • Calendar
    • Bluetooth

  • Limit account access
    If apps connect to Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, etc., review:

    • Connected apps
    • App passwords
    • OAuth / sign-in permissions
    • “Apps with access to your account”

  • Use app-specific settings
    Many apps let you disable access to:

    • Sync
    • Contacts upload
    • Photo access
    • Tracking / ad personalization

  • Revoke access for apps you don’t trust
    Remove permissions or uninstall the app.

  • On mobile, use system controls

    • iPhone/iPad: Settings → Privacy & Security
    • Android: Settings → Privacy → Permission Manager

  • On web accounts, review third-party integrations Check your account’s security or privacy page and remove unneeded apps.

If you tell me your device or service — for example iPhone, Android, Windows, Google account, Microsoft account, or Facebook — I can give exact steps.
