Here's the privacy policy document I proposed to create. I included the information you provided me. Please if there are areas where corrections are needed, point them out and I'll make the corrections.

Thanks a lot for your contribution!

Do you think it would be possible to cut down the text somewhat to the absolutely necessary. At first sight, it makes the whole thing a bigger deal than it actually is.

HarryHeights · 2018-10-16T05:53:25Z

Yea it's possible I could do that but then it wouldn't seem like a standard privacy policy anymore. It'll just be like an everyday statement. You can check out privacy policies of other softwares. However if it's still your wish to minimize content I'll do that.

Hey, I commented on the PR in detail where I see some potential for shortening it and sometime I provided additional information.

Is there some text missing at the end here?

Also, I am not sure we need crash report sending section as there are not crash reports being sent.

This is nice, but IMHO doesn't belong in the privacy policy.

This sounds strange: The software utilizes not third-party services

It does utilize the user's mail server though.
