my apologies for the confusion around this issue...

so they have *access to the API* but they need permission to get the 
location information from it, right? which means the only issue that's 
left is that once i have granted one of these 3rd parties access via one 
site that used that 3rd party, it will have access to the API even when 
i access the same 3rd party through a different site, right? that's 
definitely far less troublesome, i am glad to hear that!

thanks,

dret.
