Overview of types of applications
Apps can make a commitment to users about their intended uses of data collected through a given API (for which the user is grants a permission). This is a short string that reflects to users what risk might surface by granting an app permission to use the given API. Users can leverage this ''Usage Intention'' to decide whether the value provided by the app is worth the risk or not. Usage Intentions are attached to permissions as an annotation of not only why the permission is needed, but what the app will do with the data.
==Overview of types Types of applications==
There are 3 types of installed application. In additional, many webAPIs are also exposed to regular web content, so that category is included here for context.
