And that's one of the reasons I don't use apps in game. They are all amateur, which means that they cannot be trusted inherently. Some may be trustworthy and some not, but one cannot assume that they are.
I would call them 3rd party apps. Not officially part of the game, made by anyone who can create a webpage.
In contrast the official webapps (hosted at https://app.ryzom.com like this forum for example) are developed alongside the game and closed source to my knowledge.
Trusting these apps or rather the people behind them is a decision every player has to make. Apps which need an additional API key to work are even more sensitive.
I know most of the app developers and I would rather have a few players skip on them for any reason then no web apps at all. I think they can enhance your game esp. with the slow development of the commercial ryzom game.
