Third Party Applications

Effective Date: December 15, 2020

Following information will help you understand how Third-Party Application(s) can be accessed through Needl.ai account.

It is important to note Needl.ai needs your express permission to access Third-Party Application in order to access your Third-Party application account. Needl.ai will not transfer your email address to a Third-Party Application without your permission and will never transfer your password to any Third-Party Application. Your login credentials and password are managed by AWS Cognito.  

Most Applications use a process called “OAuth” to obtain permission to access your account maintained with Third-Party application. Needl.ai also uses OAuth mechanism to access your Third-party application(s) based on your express permission.

The OAuth process allows you to authorize Needl.ai to get access to specified Third-Party application through  a consent token mechanism which in turn allows Needl.ai to access the Third-Party application and to access  your account maintained with Third-Party application without needing your Third-Party application username and password.

How OAuth works?

When the Needl.ai application needs to access your Third-Party application account, Needl.ai will direct you to Third-Party application, where you will be prompted to log into your Third-Party application account with your Third-Party application login credentials. This means that you are signing into your Third-Party application account. You are not giving the Needl.ai application your Third-Party application  login credentials. Then you will be shown the Needl.ai application's name, the period of time for which it will  have access to your Third-Party application account and the permissions it will have to access your Third-Party  application account. Next, you will be asked to authorize the Needl.ai application to access your Third-Party  application account.                

If you click the "Decline" button on this page, you deny the Needl.ai application the permission to access your Third-Party application account. If you click the "Authorize" button, you grant the Needl.ai application the permission to access your Third-Party application account. The Needl.ai application's access will expire after the period of time indicated; and you can reduce the amount of time that the Needl.ai application will have access to your Third-Party application account by clicking on the "change" link next to the indicated time period. After the permission expires, the Needl.ai application will be unable to access your Third-Party application account until you reauthorize access by  going through the OAuth process again.                

If you have previously authorized the same application - by using the same mobile application on multiple devices,  for example - you will be presented with the options to “Re-authorize” or “Revoke Access” instead of “Authorize” or “Decline”. If you click the “Re-authorize” button, you are re-authorizing the Needl.ai application’s permission to access your Third-Party  application account for another period of time as indicated. If you click the “Revoke Access” button, you are revoking  the Needl.ai application’s existing access to your Third-Party application account on all devices. Needl.ai application will immediately lose access to your Third-Party application account.
