Good day!

Have questions about the application for VKontakte (IFrame and flash).
1. Is it possible to make a user-installed application send notifications to the user's wall without asking for user confirmation?
2. Is it possible to make the application send private messages without user's confirmation to the user's friends?
3. Is it possible to make the application create a poll on the user's wall?
4. Is it possible to make the application send the statistics of user actions to the application administrator?
5. Is it possible to make the application administrator to prohibit the launch of the application by a specific user?

Thank you in advance.

  1. You can only on the user's wall, the application should have access to posting.

  2. You can, notifications through your server (1 message per hour).

  3. It is impossible.

  4. Through common variables in vk api with restrictions, but much better through its server.

  5. Perhaps through common variables in vk api with restrictions, through its server is easier.

  • Thanks for the answer. Could you clarify what is the reason for the absence of the opportunity to post a survey? Is this restriction due to a ban on such application activity or the fact that it is technically impossible? The ability to create polls and read their results is directly related to the functionality of the application. - Oleg236

I recommend to familiarize with the rules of the platform.

https://vk.com/dev/rules

2.1. It is prohibited to collect and store user data, including User ID, for purposes not related to the operation of the application. The requested data should be used only in the context of the application.

2.2. The application must have a privacy policy. If not, use the privacy policy of VKontakte.

2.3. It is forbidden to transfer any user data received through the API (including the User ID) to third-party services (for example, advertising), either directly or through intermediaries.

2.4. It is forbidden to use user data in any advertisements.

4.2. The application should not trigger any active actions in the API without the knowledge of users and without their consent.

  • Thanks for the answer. I do not understand about "Login". All the notifications mentioned are necessary to implement the main functionality of the application. The main question is: if during the installation of the application to warn the user that the application will independently later send personal messages to his contacts and leave entries on the wall, is it enough or is it necessary that the application every time asked for permission from the user? I saw these rules, but they are vague ... There are no intentions to spam using the application. - Oleg236
