Thank you for making an effort but I do not think this is a very reassuring answer to the question.
I would very much like our users to NOT to accept an agreement that gives a site permission to "access your data anytime" without a detailed description (immediately available, not by Googling) of exactly what data that would be.
It seems I am not the only one who finds the wording unfortunate. :o)
Sincerely,

Hi,
I fully agree the following permissions requested I have hard to accept with my Organizations ID:
MS Tech Comm needs permission to:
View your basic profile - Allows the app to see your basic profile (name, picture, user name) - OK
View your email address - Allows the app to read your primary email address - OK
Access your data anytime - Allows the app to see and update your data, even when you are not currently using the app. - NOT OK
Sign in as you - Allows you to sign in to the app with your work or school account and allows the app to read your basic profile information. - NOT OK
Sign you in and read your profile - Allows you to sign in to the app with your organizational account and let the app read your profile. It also allows the app to read basic company information. - Why when you already have the basic profile?
So, can someone explain why "Sing in as you" and "Access your data anytime" is required?
