Users are required to approve certain data permissions through an authorization page to install the app in Slack.

Once installed, users can review what data access permissions have been granted on the The New York Times app directory page in Slack. Deidentified data around feature usage and activity is aggregated by the New York Times to understand app performance and where improvements can be made to the app experience.
