WorkDeep requests system permissions only when a feature you use needs them. This page lists every permission the mobile app may request, why it is needed, and whether it is optional. Denying an optional permission never blocks the rest of the app — only the related feature is unavailable. You can change or revoke any permission at any time in your device settings.
