+## QuickEdit - Photo Editor: Privacy policy
+
+Welcome to the QuickEdit - Photo Editor app for Android!
+
+This is an open source Android app developed by Abizer Rampurawala. The source code is available on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license.
+
+As an avid Android user myself, I take privacy very seriously.
+I know how frustrating it is when apps collect your data without your knowledge.
+
+### Data collected by the app
+
+I hereby state, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that I have not programmed this app to collect any personally identifiable information. All data (local copies of photos) created by the you (the user) is stored locally in your device only, and can be simply erased by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it. No analytics software is present in the app either.
+
+### Explanation of permissions requested in the app
+
+The list of permissions required by the app can be found in the `AndroidManifest.xml` file:
+
+https://github.com/Abizer-R/QuickEdit-Photo-Editor/blob/main/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
+<br/>
+and https://github.com/Abizer-R/QuickEdit-Photo-Editor/blob/main/quickedit/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
+
+| Permission | Why it is required |
+| :---: | --- |
+| `android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` | Allows an application to read from external storage. Requested in Android 9 and below. |
+| `android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` | Allows an application to write to external storage. Requested in Android 9 and below. |

+
+If you find any security vulnerability that has been inadvertently caused by me, or have any question regarding how the app protectes your privacy, please send me an email or post a discussion on GitHub, and I will surely try to fix it/help you.
+
+Yours sincerely,  
+Abizer Rampurawala.
