## Technical detail [Permalink for this section](/content/docs/integrations/saas-integrations/checkr#technical-detail/index.html)

Fides utilizes _API endpoints_ to access the _API service_ for a SaaS application. An _API service_ is the programmatic interface through which Fides can query and update data within an application to access, rectify, or delete personal information. Each SaaS tool will have a unique set of endpoints to enable privacy functions.

### Checkr Endpoints [Permalink for this section](/content/docs/integrations/saas-integrations/checkr#checkr-endpoints/index.html)

In the table below, you can find which endpoints are used for each type of privacy function. Clicking on the endpoint will take you to the documentation for that endpoint.
