Permissions

Why does the DTE Energy app ask for so many permissions? We ask for these permissions so that we can provide you with the following useful features:

Your Accounts, Find Account on Device, Read Google Service Configuration, Sync Settings, Read Sync Settings allows us to sync to Google Drive to save addresses. This makes entering outages easier for you. You can choose opt out of this feature later.
