What are permissions?
The list of things that Smore is allowed to do is called "permissions". Facebook defines a wide list of permissions that apps like Smore can request. Twitter has a simpler but similar model.
Smore only asks for the minimal set of permissions that it needs to make Promoter work.

However, Smore will never read your tweets or your Facebook posts.

Smore Promoter (or any other part of Smore) will never post on your behalf, on any service, without your express permission to post that specific post.
Can I revoke Smore's access to my account later on?
