Every time I open Bridge, I get this box about access/privacy.

It appears regardless of clicking either option.

Sequoia/Bridge 16.0.2.23

    You can manage security and privacy settings in System Settings app. Give Bridge Full Disk Access for best results.

    That seems to work, thanks.

    Weird that Bridge should need to access my Mail and Safari etc.

    Apple doesn’t break down which data is accessed but Bridge doesn’t use any of that. Both Adobe and Apple have published privacy policies. This is mainly an alertness measure, so apps don’t just grab your data without your approval.
