What features does my app have permission to use?
Every description page for an app in the Windows Store includes a list of features that the app has permission to use after you've installed it on your PC. For example, a travel app might use your location to help identify interesting landmarks near you, a photo app might use your pictures library to create a slide show, or an instant messaging app might use the webcam connected to your PC for video chats.

After you install an app on your PC, you can see the list of permissions for it.
