What information does this feature expose, +> and for what purposes? + +This feature exposes no additional information to websites. It allows successful grants of SAA calls when a prior FedCM permission has been allowed by the user. Both APIs allow for cross-site identification, but are gated on user permission. + +> 2. Do features in your specification expose the minimum amount of information +> necessary to implement the intended functionality? + +Yes, no additional information is exposed. + +> 5. Do the features in your specification expose personal information, +> personally-identifiable information (PII), or information derived from +> either? + +Not in itself, though again this feature integrates two existing APIs that are frequently used to transmit such information across sites (gated on user permission). + +> 7. How do the features in your specification deal with sensitive information? + +It doesn't in itself. + +> 8. Does data exposed by your specification carry related but distinct +> information that may not be obvious to users? + +No + +> 10. Do the features in your specification introduce state +> that persists across browsing sessions? + +No, it uses existing permission state from FedCM grants. + +> 12. Do the features in your specification expose information about the +> underlying platform to origins? + +No + +> 14. Does this specification allow an origin to send data to the underlying +> platform? + +No + +> 16. Do features in this specification enable access to device sensors? + +No + +> 17. Do features in this specification enable new script execution/loading +> mechanisms? + +No + +> 18. Do features in this specification allow an origin to access other devices? + +No + +> 19. Do features in this specification allow an origin some measure of control over +> a user agent's native UI? + +No + +> 20. What temporary identifiers do the features in this specification create or +> expose to the web? + +None it itself. + +> 21. How does this specification distinguish between behavior in first-party and +> third-party contexts? + +It follows the existing behavior of SAA and FedCM in 1P / 3P contexts + +> 22. How do the features in this specification work in the context of a browser’s +> Private Browsing or Incognito mode? + +See https://github.com/privacycg/storage-access/blob/main/tag-security-questionnaire.md for how SAA handles private / incognito mode. + +> 24. Does this specification have both "Security Considerations" and "Privacy +> Considerations" sections? + +Yes + +> 26. Do features in your specification enable origins to downgrade default +> security protections? + +Not beyond how SAA already allows for downgrading the security protections afforded by third-party cookie blocking. + +> 28. What happens when a document that uses your feature is kept alive in BFCache +> (instead of getting destroyed) after navigation, and potentially gets reused +> on future navigations back to the document? + +This feature uses long-lived FedCM grants and as such is intended to be usable in future documents or future navigations to the same document. + +> 30. What happens when a document that uses your feature gets disconnected? + +This feature simply adds an additional trust parameter for allowing SAA grants, so this shouldn't be a consideration. + +> 32. Does your feature allow sites to learn about the users use of assistive technology? + +No + +> 34. What should this questionnaire have asked?
