This provision operates as a gatekeeping mechanism for sensitive data processing, requiring developers to obtain dual authorization (user consent plus Meta approval) before handling protected categories. The operational significance lies in the approval requirement, which establishes Meta as the administrative authority for validating use cases involving these data categories.
Users encounter this provision as a restriction on what data third-party applications can access and process, with the mechanism requiring applications to demonstrate both user consent and approved business justification to Meta before handling sensitive categories. The provision conditions data access on affirmative approval rather than presumptive permission.
