+# LibreMail Privacy Policy
+
+**Effective date: 2026-07-01** · Applies to the LibreMail Android app (`org.libremail.app`).
+
+LibreMail is a free and open-source (GPL-3.0-or-later) email client. This policy describes what
+the app does with your data. Because the source code is public, every statement here can be
+verified against the code at <https://github.com/JMR-dev/LibreMail>.
+
+## Summary
+
+- **We run no servers and receive no data from you.** The LibreMail project has no backend: the
+  app talks only to the email provider(s) *you* configure (e.g. your Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo,
+  iCloud, or self-hosted IMAP/SMTP server) and, for Outlook accounts, to Microsoft's sign-in and
+  Graph endpoints.
+- **Your mail stays on your device.** Messages are cached locally so the app works offline; the
+  cache can optionally be encrypted at rest.
+- **No ads, no analytics, no tracking.** The app contains no advertising, analytics, or tracking
+  SDK of any kind, and no Google Play Services or Firebase dependency.
+- **Nothing is sent to the developers** — including crash reports, which are strictly opt-in,
+  stored locally, shown to you for review, and (in this build) cannot be uploaded at all because
+  no ingest endpoint is configured.
+
+## What the app stores on your device
+
+All of the following lives in the app's private storage on your device only:
+
+- **Account settings** — your email address, display name, and server host/port/security
+  settings for each account you add.
+- **Credentials** — your per-account app password or OAuth tokens, encrypted with a hardware-
+  backed key in the Android Keystore before being written to storage.
+- **Mail cache** — headers, message bodies, and folder state, in a local database so your mail is
+  available offline. You can optionally enable **cache encryption** (SQLCipher) in Settings; the
+  database key is random, never leaves the device, and is itself sealed by the Android Keystore.
+- **Attachments** you download or attach, in the app's cache directory (Android may clear this
+  automatically to reclaim space).
+- **Preferences** — theme, notification, sync, and privacy toggles.
+- **Debug reports** — only if a crash occurs or you ask the app to capture one; see
+  [Diagnostics](#diagnostics-and-debug-reports).
+
+Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage in Android settings, deletes all of the above.
+
+## What leaves your device
+
+The app makes network connections **only** to servers that operate your email service:
+
+- **Your mail servers** — the IMAP and SMTP hosts of each account you configure (for the built-in
+  presets: `imap/smtp.gmail.com`, `imap/smtp.mail.yahoo.com`, `imap/smtp.mail.me.com`;
+  `outlook.office.com` for Outlook). This traffic is your email itself: signing in, downloading
+  your mail, sending the messages you write, and — when you use server search — your search
+  query. That is the app doing its job as your email client; none of it goes to us.
+- **Microsoft identity platform and Graph** (`login.microsoftonline.com`,
+  `graph.microsoft.com`) — only for Outlook/Hotmail accounts, to sign you in with OAuth 2.0 and
+  to send mail via Microsoft's API.
+- **Remote images in emails** — blocked by default. If you enable "load remote images", the
+  message viewer will fetch images from the servers referenced by the email (which can reveal
+  your IP address to the sender), so it stays off unless you turn it on.
+
+Every mail connection uses TLS (SSL/TLS or STARTTLS) with server-certificate hostname
+verification; the account-setup UI does not offer an unencrypted option.
+
+The app never transmits your data to the LibreMail project or any third party of ours. There is
+no telemetry, no "phone home", and no ad or analytics traffic.
+
+## Contacts (`READ_CONTACTS` permission)
+
+When composing a message, LibreMail can suggest recipients from your device contacts. The app
+asks for the contacts permission the first time you open the compose screen:
+
+- Contact lookups run **entirely on the device** and return at most a handful of name/email
+  matches for what you typed. Your contact list is never uploaded, copied, or synced anywhere.
+- The only way a contact detail leaves the device is when *you* put an address in an email you
+  send — it then appears in that email, like in any mail client.
+- The permission is optional: if you deny it, autocomplete is silently disabled and everything
+  else keeps working.
+
+## Notifications (`POST_NOTIFICATIONS` permission)
+
+Used to show new-mail notifications (per-account, with sender/subject hidden on a locked screen)
+and the persistent low-priority status notification Android requires while the optional
+instant-push connection is active. New-mail notifications are generated **on the device** from
+your synced mail — there is no push server and no cloud messaging service involved. You can
+decline the permission or disable notifications per account in system settings.
+
+## Instant push (foreground service)
+
+For instant mail delivery the app can hold an open IMAP IDLE connection to your mail server in a
+foreground service (shown as a persistent notification). This connects only to your own mail
+server, and can be turned off in Settings ("push mail"), which falls back to periodic background
+sync.
+
+## Diagnostics and debug reports
+
+LibreMail has **no automatic crash or usage reporting**. What exists instead:
+
+- If the app crashes, or you use "Report a problem", a report is saved **locally** on your
+  device. It contains the app version, Android version, device make/model, a stack trace (for
+  crashes), a short summary of non-identifying settings, and recent internal log lines — by
+  design no account addresses, server names, or message content fields are collected.
+- You can view the full report text (with a plain-language notice to check it for anything
+  personal), copy it, share it yourself, or delete it. It is transmitted **only** if you
+  explicitly tap Submit — never in the background.
+- In the builds produced from this repository **no upload endpoint is configured**, so even an
+  explicit Submit cannot send anything; the report simply stays on your device. If a future
+  release adds an endpoint, submission will remain strictly opt-in and user-initiated, and this
+  policy will be updated.
+
+## Android Backup
+
+Android's cloud backup is **off by default** for LibreMail. If you enable "Include settings in
+Android Backup" in Settings, only your app preferences are backed up through your device's
+Android Backup transport (typically Google's). Your credentials, the mail cache, and the cache
+encryption key are always excluded from backups.
+
+## Data deletion
+
+- **Remove an account** (in the app's account settings) — deletes that account's stored
+  credentials, its cached messages, folders, and per-account settings from the local database,
+  and its notification channels. Copies of downloaded attachments in the app's cache directory
+  are cleared by Android's normal cache management, or immediately via "Clear cache" in system
+  settings.
+- **Uninstall the app / clear storage** — removes all locally stored app data.
+- **Your mailbox is unaffected**: mail lives with your email provider; deleting data in
+  LibreMail does not delete mail from the server unless you explicitly delete messages in the
+  app. We hold no copy of your data, so there is nothing for us to delete on any server.
+
+## Children
+
+LibreMail is a general-audience utility that requires an existing email account. It is not
+directed at children, and — as described above — it collects no data from any user.
+
+## Changes and contact
+
+Changes to this policy are made in the public repository with full version history. Questions or
+concerns: open an issue at <https://github.com/JMR-dev/LibreMail/issues>.

+## F-Droid
+
+LibreMail is built to meet F-Droid's inclusion criteria: every dependency is
+FOSS-licensed, there are no Google Play Services / Firebase / proprietary SDKs, the
+build needs no `secrets.properties`, and there are **no anti-features to declare**
+(the privacy-sensitive extras above are all opt-in). The full dependency license

+[`docs/fdroid-compliance.md`](docs/fdroid-compliance.md); the store listing is under
+[`fastlane/metadata/android/`](fastlane/metadata/android/en-US), and
+[`docs/fdroid/org.libremail.app.yml`](docs/fdroid/org.libremail.app.yml) is the
+template for the eventual fdroiddata build recipe.

+# F-Droid compliance
+
+Audit for issue #16, performed 2026-07-01 against `main` (versionName 0.1.0 /
+versionCode 1). **Verdict: LibreMail meets F-Droid's inclusion criteria with no
+anti-features to declare.** Every runtime dependency is FOSS-licensed and
+GPL-3.0-or-later-compatible, there are no Google Play Services / Firebase /
+proprietary artifacts, no non-free Gradle plugins, and a clean-room build (no
+`secrets.properties`, no proprietary keys) produces an installable APK.
+
+Companion deliverables:
+
+- `fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/` — the store listing F-Droid reads from this repo.
+- `docs/fdroid/org.libremail.app.yml` — template + instructions for the build recipe
+  that goes into [fdroiddata](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata).
+
+## 1. Dependency license audit
+
+### 1.1 Runtime dependencies (what ships in the APK)
+
+Enumerated with `./gradlew :app:dependencies --configuration releaseRuntimeClasspath`.
+Direct dependencies, with the resolved versions at audit time:
+
+| Dependency | Version | License | Role |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `androidx.core:core-ktx` | 1.17.0 | Apache-2.0 | AndroidX core |
+| `androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx` / `-runtime-compose` / `-viewmodel-compose` | 2.9.4 | Apache-2.0 | Lifecycle/MVVM |

+| `net.zetetic:sqlcipher-android` | 4.16.0 | BSD-3-Clause-style (SQLCipher Community Edition) | Opt-in cache encryption |
+
+Transitive dependencies, grouped (full tree available from the Gradle command above):
+
+| Group | License | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `androidx.*` (~60 artifacts: appcompat, browser, collection, emoji2, fragment, savedstate, sqlite, startup, tracing, window, …) | Apache-2.0 | AndroidX |
+| `org.jetbrains.*` (kotlin-stdlib, kotlinx-coroutines, kotlinx-serialization, annotations) | Apache-2.0 | JetBrains |
+| `com.google.dagger:*` (dagger, hilt-core, dagger-lint-aar) | Apache-2.0 | via Hilt |
+| `com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305` 3.0.2 | Apache-2.0 | annotations only |
+| `com.google.guava:listenablefuture` 1.0 | Apache-2.0 | empty stub artifact (not Guava) |
+| `com.squareup.okio:okio` 3.9.1 | Apache-2.0 | via DataStore |
+| `jakarta.mail:jakarta.mail-api` 2.1.5 | EPL-2.0 OR GPL-2.0 w/ CPE OR EDL-1.0 | via Angus Mail |
+| `jakarta.activation:jakarta.activation-api` 2.1.4 | EDL-1.0 (BSD-3-Clause) | via Angus Mail |

+| `org.jspecify:jspecify` 1.0.0 | Apache-2.0 | nullness annotations |
+
+**GPL compatibility.** Everything is Apache-2.0 or BSD-3-Clause except the
+Jakarta/Angus mail stack, which is tri-licensed; LibreMail uses it under the
+EDL-1.0 (BSD-3-Clause) / GPL-2.0-with-Classpath-exception options, both of which are
+GPL-3.0-or-later-compatible. **No proprietary, source-unavailable, or
+"free for open source use only" artifact appears anywhere in the tree.** In
+particular there is **no** `com.google.android.gms:*` (Play Services), **no**
+`com.google.firebase:*`, no Play Billing/Install Referrer, and no analytics or
+crash-reporting SDK.
+
+Native libraries in the release APK — all from the audited dependencies above:
+`libsqlcipher.so` (SQLCipher), `libdatastore_shared_counter.so` (AndroidX DataStore),
+`libandroidx.graphics.path.so` (AndroidX, via Compose).
+
+### 1.2 Build-time dependencies (never ship in the APK)
+
+Enumerated with `./gradlew buildEnvironment :app:buildEnvironment`:
+
+| Plugin / tool | License |
+|---|---|
+| Android Gradle Plugin 9.2.x (`com.android.tools.*`) | Apache-2.0 |
+| Kotlin Gradle plugin + Compose compiler 2.4.0 | Apache-2.0 |
+| KSP 2.3.9 | Apache-2.0 |
+| Hilt Gradle plugin 2.60 | Apache-2.0 |
+| ktlint-gradle 14.2.0 (`org.jlleitschuh.gradle`) | MIT |
+| detekt 2.0.0-alpha.5 (`dev.detekt`) | Apache-2.0 |
+
+Their transitive tooling deps (protobuf, Tink, flatbuffers, bouncycastle,
+juniversalchardet, jose4j, …) are Apache-2.0/MIT/MPL — all FOSS. **No non-free
+Gradle plugin is used** (no Play Publisher, no Crashlytics/Google Services plugin,
+no proprietary obfuscator; R8 ships with AGP and is Apache-2.0).
+
+Artifacts resolve exclusively from open repositories: `google()` and
+`mavenCentral()` (plus `gradlePluginPortal()` for the lint/format plugins).
+`gradle-wrapper.jar` is the standard Gradle 9.6 wrapper (Apache-2.0), verifiable
+against the official distribution.
+
+### 1.3 APK payload hygiene
+
+AGP by default embeds a *dependency info block* in the APK signing block: a list of
+every dependency **encrypted with a Google Play public key**, readable only by
+Google. That opaque blob is a known F-Droid blocker (it cannot be verified from
+source and breaks reproducible-build verification), so this repo disables it in
+`app/build.gradle.kts`:
+
+```kotlin
+dependenciesInfo {
+    includeInApk = false
+    includeInBundle = false
+}
+```
+
+## 2. Anti-feature review
+
+Reviewed against the [F-Droid anti-feature list](https://f-droid.org/docs/Anti-Features/),
+based on the manifest and source at audit time. **Declared anti-features: none.**
+
+| Anti-feature | Verdict | Reasoning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `Ads` | Clear | No advertising of any kind. |
+| `Tracking` | Clear | No analytics/telemetry SDK; no identifiers are collected. Debug reporting is off by default, local-only, user-reviewed, and user-submitted (§2.1). |
+| `NonFreeNet` | Clear | Generic IMAP/SMTP client, fully functional against free-software mail servers; the Microsoft integration is optional and user-chosen (§2.2). |
+| `NonFreeAdd` | Clear | No add-ons; nothing is upsold. |
+| `NonFreeDep` | Clear | Dependency audit in §1: every dependency is FOSS. |
+| `NonFreeAssets` | Clear | All assets are first-party vector drawables carrying the repo's GPL SPDX headers; no bundled proprietary art, fonts, or blobs. |
+| `NSFW` | Clear | N/A. |
+| `UpstreamNonFree` | Clear | This repo is the upstream and is wholly GPL-3.0-or-later. |
+| `KnownVuln` | Clear | No dependency with a known security vulnerability is pinned at audit time (all on current stable lines). |
+| `ApplicationDebuggable` | Clear | Release builds are non-debuggable (AGP default) and R8-minified. |
+| `TetheredNet` | Clear | No tethered/proprietary backend; the app talks to the user's own mail servers. |
+| `NoSourceSince` | Clear | N/A — source is published. |
+
+### 2.1 Debug reporting is not `Tracking`
+
+The crash/debug-report pipeline (`org.libremail.reporting.*`) is designed to stay on
+the right side of F-Droid's Tracking definition ("reports user activity ... without
+consent"):
+
+- **Off by default.** Nothing is captured until the user enables debug reporting.
+- **Local capture only.** Reports (app/OS version, device model, stack trace, a
+  non-PII settings summary, recent in-app log lines) are stored on-device.
+  `DiagnosticsCollector` deliberately collects no account emails, server names,
+  message content, or hardware/advertising identifiers.
+- **User-initiated, reviewed submission.** A report leaves the device only when the
+  user opens it, sees the full contents plus a PII disclaimer, and taps Submit
+  (`ReportSubmitter` is the single egress seam).
+- **No endpoint in F-Droid builds.** The ingest URL comes from
+  `BuildConfig.DEBUG_REPORT_ENDPOINT`, default **empty** (settable only via the
+  git-ignored `secrets.properties`). An F-Droid build therefore *cannot* transmit a
+  report anywhere; the UI steers users to copy/save the report instead.
+
+### 2.2 Outlook OAuth / Microsoft Graph is not `NonFreeNet`
+
+`NonFreeNet` applies to apps that *promote or depend entirely on* a non-free network
+service. LibreMail is a general-purpose email client: it works fully against any
+IMAP/SMTP server, including self-hosted free-software stacks (Dovecot/Postfix, …),
+and no Microsoft endpoint is ever contacted unless the user adds an
+Outlook/Microsoft account. For transparency:
+
+- Adding an Outlook account uses OAuth 2.0 + PKCE against
+  `login.microsoftonline.com` and sends via Microsoft Graph
+  (`graph.microsoft.com`), with SMTP/XOAUTH2 fallback — proprietary services, but
+  the *user's own mailbox provider*, exactly like connecting to any other mail host.
+- The build bundles a default Azure **public client id** (`OUTLOOK_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`
+  in `app/build.gradle.kts`). A public-client id is an identifier, not a secret or a
+  key, and is overridable via `secrets.properties`. This mirrors what established
+  F-Droid mail clients (K-9 Mail / Thunderbird) ship for Gmail/Outlook OAuth without
+  a `NonFreeNet` flag.
+- Gmail/Yahoo/iCloud accounts use plain app-password IMAP/SMTP — no proprietary
+  SDK. Onboarding links to each vendor's app-password page open in the system
+  browser only on an explicit tap.
+
+Should F-Droid reviewers read the built-in Outlook convenience differently,
+declaring `NonFreeNet` on the fdroiddata side is the documented fallback; nothing
+in the app needs to change.
+
+### 2.3 Android Backup (Google transport) is opt-in
+
+`android:allowBackup="true"` is required at the manifest level, but
+`LibreMailBackupAgent` enforces the runtime preference: **backup is off by
+default**, and with it disabled the agent ships nothing. When the user opts in, the
+allowlist in `res/xml/data_extraction_rules.xml` / `backup_rules.xml` backs up
+*only* the settings DataStore — never credentials, the mail cache, or the
+Keystore-sealed cache passphrase. Because Android Auto Backup can route through
+Google's transport, the feature stays disabled unless explicitly chosen; F-Droid
+has no anti-feature for opt-in platform backup.
+
+### 2.4 Complete network surface
+
+| Destination | When | Consent |
+|---|---|---|
+| User-configured IMAP/SMTP servers | Mail sync/send | Inherent (user adds the account) |
+| `login.microsoftonline.com` | Outlook sign-in / token refresh | Only if an Outlook account is added |
+| `graph.microsoft.com` (`sendMail`) | Outlook send | Only if an Outlook account is added |
+| Vendor app-password help pages (Google/Yahoo/Apple) | Opened in the system browser | Explicit tap during setup |
+| Remote images in HTML mail | Blocked by default | Per-user opt-in (tracking-pixel protection) |
+| `DEBUG_REPORT_ENDPOINT` | Debug-report submission | Empty by default → impossible; otherwise explicit Submit tap |
+
+No other endpoint exists in the code; there is no update checker, no push relay
+(new-mail notifications are generated on-device; instant push is a direct IMAP IDLE
+connection to the user's server), and no font/asset CDN.
+
+## 3. Clean-room build verification
+
+Verified 2026-07-01 on this branch, in a checkout containing **no
+`secrets.properties`** (and no other proprietary keys — the file is optional by
+design; `OUTLOOK_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID` has an in-tree default and
+`DEBUG_REPORT_ENDPOINT` defaults to empty):
+
+```
+$ JAVA_HOME=<JDK 21> ./gradlew :app:assembleRelease
+BUILD SUCCESSFUL
+app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk   (~12.6 MiB)
+```
+
+The APK is installable: with no release keystore configured, release builds are
+signed with the debug key (see `signingConfigs` in `app/build.gradle.kts`) — fine
+for local testing and irrelevant to F-Droid, which builds from source and signs
+with its own key. APK contents were inspected: single `classes.dex`, resources,
+and the three native libraries listed in §1.1 — no bundled binaries of unknown
+origin. `./gradlew :app:assembleDebug`, the unit tests, static analysis
+(ktlint/detekt), and the emulator E2E suites run on every PR in CI, likewise
+without any secrets configured.
+
+## 4. Publishing checklist (for the maintainer)
+
+1. Tag releases `v<versionName>` **and bump `versionCode`** in
+   `app/build.gradle.kts` in the same commit. (At audit time tags `v0.1.0` and
+   `v0.2.0` both point at versionCode 1 / versionName 0.1.0 — F-Droid's
+   `UpdateCheckMode: Tags` needs the code to increase per release tag.)
+2. Copy `docs/fdroid/org.libremail.app.yml` into a fork of fdroiddata as
+   `metadata/org.libremail.app.yml`, run `fdroid lint org.libremail.app` and a test
+   `fdroid build`, then open the merge request.
+3. The store listing (title/short/full description, per-release changelogs) is read
+   from `fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/` in this repo — add a
+   `changelogs/<versionCode>.txt` for each release, and optionally
+   `images/phoneScreenshots/`.
+4. Keep this document current when dependencies or network behaviors change; if a
+   future feature genuinely trips an anti-feature, declare it in the fdroiddata
+   metadata rather than hiding it.

+# Google Play technical compliance & console checklist (issue #17)
+
+Verified 2026-07-01 against this repository (commit on `main` at time of writing). Companion
+docs: [`PRIVACY.md`](../PRIVACY.md), [`play-data-safety.md`](play-data-safety.md),
+[`play-permissions.md`](play-permissions.md).
+
+## 1. Target API level — PASS
+
+| Fact | Value | Source |
+|---|---|---|
+| `targetSdk` | **37** | `app/build.gradle.kts:52` |
+| `compileSdk` | 37 | `app/build.gradle.kts:46` |
+| `minSdk` | 29 (Android 10) | `app/build.gradle.kts:51` |
+| Play requirement (new apps & updates, phones/tablets) | target API **35** (Android 15)+ since 2025-08-31 | [Play target-API policy](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/11926878) |
+
+Target 37 exceeds the requirement with two versions of headroom; no action needed. When Google
+announces the 2026 deadline (expected: API 36 for the Aug 2026 window), 37 still passes.
+
+## 2. 16 KB page-size support — PASS (verified empirically)
+
+Play requires new apps and updates targeting Android 15+ to support 16 KB memory page sizes on
+64-bit devices since 2025-11-01 ([Android developers blog](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/05/prepare-play-apps-for-devices-with-16kb-page-size.html)).
+Compliance = every `PT_LOAD` segment of every packaged 64-bit `.so` aligned to ≥ 0x4000 (16384).
+
+The release AAB packages exactly three native libraries. All were extracted from
+`app-release.aab` and their ELF program headers checked (same check as AOSP's
+`check_elf_alignment.sh`); **every one reports `p_align = 0x4000` on every ABI**:
+
+| Library | From dependency | arm64-v8a | x86_64 | armeabi-v7a / x86 (32-bit, not gated) |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `libsqlcipher.so` | `net.zetetic:sqlcipher-android:4.16.0` | 0x4000 OK | 0x4000 OK | 0x4000 OK |
+| `libandroidx.graphics.path.so` | Compose (BOM `2026.06.00`) | 0x4000 OK | 0x4000 OK | 0x4000 OK |
+| `libdatastore_shared_counter.so` | `androidx.datastore:1.2.1` | 0x4000 OK | 0x4000 OK | 0x4000 OK |
+
+SQLCipher — the dependency called out in issue #17 — has shipped 16 KB-aligned binaries since
+well before 4.16.0, and the pinned version is confirmed aligned above. AGP 9.2 also emits 16
+KB-zip-aligned uncompressed libraries by default (AGP ≥ 8.5.1 behavior), and Play regenerates
+delivery APKs from the AAB anyway. Re-verify after any bump of `sqlcipher`, `datastore`, or
+`composeBom` in `gradle/libs.versions.toml`: Play Console → **App bundle explorer** shows a
+16 KB compliance verdict per upload.
+
+## 3. App Bundle (AAB) — PASS, signing is a human step
+
+- `./gradlew :app:bundleRelease` succeeds and produces
+  `app/build/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab` (~10.4 MB, R8-minified). Verified
+  2026-07-01 with JDK 21.
+- **Signing:** without `secrets.properties` the release build intentionally falls back to the
+  **debug** keystore (`app/build.gradle.kts:86` — installable locally, not publishable). For
+  Play the maintainer must create an upload keystore, set `RELEASE_STORE_FILE` /
+  `RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD` / `RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS` / `RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD` in
+  `secrets.properties`, rebuild, and enroll in **Play App Signing** on first upload (Play holds
+  the app signing key; the local key becomes the upload key).
+- `versionCode 1` / `versionName "0.1.0"` (`app/build.gradle.kts:53`) — bump per release.
+
+## 4. OAuth / CASA — no Google verification applies
+
+Verified in source, 2026-07-01:
+
+- **Gmail onboarding uses an app password over IMAP/SMTP, not OAuth.** The Gmail preset
+  (`domain/model/MailProvider.kt:37`) is plain `imap.gmail.com:993` / `smtp.gmail.com:587`
+  authenticating with a user-created app password; the only Google URL in the app is the
+  `myaccount.google.com/apppasswords` help link opened in the browser. There is **no Google
+  OAuth client, no Google sign-in flow, and no Gmail API scope anywhere in the code** — so the
+  Google restricted-scope verification and **CASA security assessment do not apply** to
+  LibreMail. (This is deliberate — issue #9; do not "fix" Gmail back to OAuth.)
+- **Outlook OAuth is Microsoft-side only.** `auth/OutlookAuthManager.kt` uses AppAuth (PKCE,
+  public client) against `login.microsoftonline.com` with Microsoft Graph
+  (`Mail.Send`) and Exchange Online (`IMAP.AccessAsUser.All`, `SMTP.Send`) scopes. Verification
+  of that client is governed by **Microsoft's** app-registration/publisher rules in Azure —
+  nothing on the Google side. Google Play itself imposes no OAuth review; only the data-safety
+  and permissions declarations above cover it.
+- README follow-up: tracked as issue **#20** (a fuller README pass); `README.md`'s privacy
+  section now links `PRIVACY.md`.
+
+## 5. Console checklist (human steps, in order)
+
+Everything below happens in Play Console and cannot be done from the repo. Drafted answers are
+ready to paste.
+
+1. **Developer account** — one-time registration + identity verification.
+2. **Create app** — name *LibreMail*, default language, **App** (not game), **Free**.
+   Free-to-paid can never be toggled later; LibreMail is GPL and free.
+3. **Store listing** (assets required):
+   - App icon **512×512 PNG** (≤1 MB); feature graphic **1024×500**; **2–8 phone screenshots**
+     (16:9 or 9:16, 320–3840 px; onboarding, inbox, reader, compose, settings are good
+     candidates); optional 7"/10" tablet screenshots.
+   - Short description (≤80 chars), draft:
+     > Open-source email for Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud and any IMAP provider.
+   - Full description (≤4000 chars), draft:
+     > LibreMail is a free and open-source (GPL-3.0) email client with a friendly Material You
+     > design. Add Outlook/Hotmail (OAuth sign-in), Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud (app password), or any
+     > IMAP/SMTP provider; read, search, and manage your mail offline-first; compose with rich
+     > text, signatures, attachments, and contact autocomplete; get instant new-mail
+     > notifications via IMAP IDLE push — no tracking, no ads, no analytics, and your mail
+     > never touches our servers because we don't have any. Optional extras: encrypted local
+     > cache (SQLCipher), unified inbox for multiple accounts, and full mail-history backfill
+     > with a retention cap.
+   - Category **Communication**; contact email (maintainer's); privacy policy URL
+     `https://github.com/JMR-dev/LibreMail/blob/main/PRIVACY.md`.
+4. **App content declarations:**
+   - **Privacy policy** — URL above.
+   - **Ads** — *No, my app does not contain ads* (no ad SDK; see dependency audit in
+     [`play-data-safety.md`](play-data-safety.md)).
+   - **App access** — reviewers need a mail account to exercise the app. Provide either
+     "All functionality is available without special access" plus a note that any IMAP account
+     works, or (safer) supply a disposable test account (e.g. a throwaway IMAP mailbox) under
+     *Special access instructions*. Do **not** hand over a personal account.
+   - **Content rating (IARC questionnaire)** — draft answers: email/communication app; category
+     **Utility / Communication**; violence/sex/language/drugs/gambling: **No** to all;
+     user interaction: **Yes** (users exchange email — expect an "Interactive elements: Users
+     Interact" notice); shares user-provided location: **No**; digital purchases: **No**.
+     Expected rating: **Everyone / PEGI 3** with the Users-Interact disclosure.
+   - **Target audience** — **13 and over** (requires an email account; not directed at
+     children — do not select under-13, which triggers Families policy).
+   - **News app** — No. **COVID-19 app** — No. **Government app** — No.
+   - **Financial features** — None. **Health apps** — Not a health app.
+   - **Data safety** — answers and evidence in [`play-data-safety.md`](play-data-safety.md).
+   - **Foreground service permissions** (`FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC`) — declaration text and
+     demo-video script in [`play-permissions.md`](play-permissions.md).
+   - **Account deletion** — Play's deletion-URL requirement applies to apps that let users
+     *create an account with the developer*. LibreMail creates no such accounts (users connect
+     their own third-party mailboxes), so answer the "App access/account creation" question
+     with **no account creation** and the deletion section does not apply. In-app truth, if a
+     free-text answer is wanted:
+     > LibreMail has no user accounts of its own and stores data only on the device. Removing
+     > an account inside the app deletes its saved credentials and its locally cached
+     > messages, folders, and settings (`AccountRepositoryImpl.deleteAccount`); uninstalling
+     > the app removes all app data. The user's mailbox at their email provider is unaffected.
+5. **Upload** the properly signed release AAB to **Internal testing** first; check **App bundle
+   explorer** (16 KB verdict) and the **pre-launch report** (automated crawl on real devices;
+   supply the test-account credentials so it can get past onboarding).
+6. **Countries/regions**, pricing (Free), then promote Internal → Closed/Open testing →
+   Production. Note: new personal developer accounts must run a closed test (12 testers /
+   14 days) before production access.
+
+## 6. Findings for the maintainer (repo-side, discovered during verification)
+
+1. **"Push mail" is on by default, not opt-in.** `SettingsRepository.kt:41` defaults
+   `pushIdle = true`, so the dataSync foreground service starts as soon as the first account is
+   added. The manifest comment (`AndroidManifest.xml:88` — "opt-in via Advanced Settings") and
+   README wording say opt-in. Either flip the default to `false` or fix the comments; the Play
+   FGS declaration drafted here describes the **actual** behavior (default-on, user-visible
+   toggle, persistent notification), which is acceptable to declare but must stay truthful.
+2. **README tech-stack table says min SDK 33**; the build uses `minSdk 29`
+   (`app/build.gradle.kts:51`). Fix with the #20 README pass.
+3. **README advertises an "app lock" (biometric/device-credential)** that does not exist in the
+   code yet (no biometric API usage anywhere in `app/src/main`). `PRIVACY.md` deliberately does
+   not claim it; remove or de-scope the README claim until implemented (#20), and update
+   `PRIVACY.md` when it ships.
+4. **Release signing falls back to the debug key** without `secrets.properties` — fine for CI,
+   but the Play upload must be built with the real upload keystore (section 3).

+# Google Play Data safety form — mapping (issue #17)
+
+Fill-in guide for Play Console → **App content → Data safety**. Every answer below is grounded
+in this repository's code; re-verify against source if the data flows change. Companion docs:
+[`PRIVACY.md`](../PRIVACY.md) (the policy to link in the form),
+[`play-permissions.md`](play-permissions.md), [`play-compliance.md`](play-compliance.md).
+
+## How Play defines "collection", and why LibreMail declares none
+
+Play's definition ([Play Console Help — Provide information for Google Play's Data safety
+section](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10787469)): *"Collect"
+means transmitting data from your app off a user's device*, with exemptions that do **not** need
+to be disclosed:
+
+1. **On-device access/processing** — data "only processed locally on the user's device and not
+   sent off device".
+2. **End-to-end encryption** — data unreadable by anyone other than sender and recipient.
+3. **Ephemeral processing** — data held in memory and "retained for no longer than necessary to
+   service a specific request in real time".
+
+LibreMail's data flows fall under exemptions 1 and 3:
+
+- The developer **operates no servers and receives no user data**. There is no analytics,
+  crash-reporting, or ad SDK in the dependency tree (see audit below), and the only
+  developer-directed channel that exists in code — opt-in debug-report upload
+  (`app/src/main/kotlin/org/libremail/reporting/ReportUploadWorker.kt`) — is dead in shipped
+  builds because `DEBUG_REPORT_ENDPOINT` defaults to `""` (`app/build.gradle.kts`), which makes
+  the upload worker fail without transmitting.
+- All other traffic is the app doing its job as the user's mail agent against **servers the
+  user chose** (their own IMAP/SMTP provider; Microsoft's OAuth/Graph endpoints for the Outlook
+  account type). Each transfer services a specific user request in real time (sign-in, sync,
+  send, server search); the app retains nothing off-device and the developer can never access
+  any of it.
+
+The same reasoning is the established practice of comparable open-source mail clients on Play
+that declare no collection. If a Play reviewer pushes back, use the conservative alternative at
+the bottom of this page — it is also truthful.
+
+## Form answers
+
+| Form question | Answer |
+|---|---|
+| Does your app collect or share any of the required user data types? | **No** |
+| Is all of the user data collected by your app encrypted in transit? | Not asked when "No" above; for the record: **yes**, all connections are TLS (`ImapClient.kt`, `SmtpSender.kt` set `ssl.checkserveridentity=true`; `MailSecurity.NONE` is not offered in the UI — `ManualSetupScreen.kt:211`) |
+| Do you provide a way for users to request that their data is deleted? | Not asked when "No" above; see account-deletion notes in [`play-compliance.md`](play-compliance.md) |
+| Privacy policy URL | `https://github.com/JMR-dev/LibreMail/blob/main/PRIVACY.md` |
+
+Result shown on the store listing: **"No data collected"** / **"No data shared with third
+parties"**.
+
+## Category-by-category evidence
+
+Every Play data-safety category, the truthful answer, and where the code proves it:
+
+| Play category | Collected? | Shared? | Evidence in code |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Personal info → Name | No | No | Account display name stored in local Room DB only (`data/local/entity/AccountEntity` via `AccountRepositoryImpl.kt`); appears off-device only inside mail the user sends |
+| Personal info → Email address | No | No | The user's own address is their mail login, sent only to their chosen provider to authenticate/send (`ImapClient.kt`, `SmtpSender.kt`, `GraphSender.kt`) — user-initiated, real-time, never to the developer |
+| Personal info → User IDs | No | No | No developer-side accounts or IDs exist; OAuth tokens go only between the device and `login.microsoftonline.com` (`auth/OutlookAuthManager.kt`) |
+| Financial info / Health / Location | No | No | No such APIs or permissions anywhere in the merged manifest (see [`play-permissions.md`](play-permissions.md)) |
+| Messages → Emails | No | No | Mail syncs from the user's server *to* the device (`MailSyncer`), is cached locally (Room, optional SQLCipher — `di/DatabaseModule.kt`), and is transmitted only when the user sends a message to their own SMTP/Graph endpoint |
+| Photos and videos / Audio files / Files and docs | No | No | Attachments are chosen via the system document picker (`ComposeScreen.kt` `OpenMultipleDocuments`, no storage permission), stored under `cacheDir` (`MailRepositoryImpl.kt:361`), and leave the device only inside mail the user sends |
+| Calendar | No | No | No calendar API usage |
+| Contacts | **No** | No | `contacts/ContactsRepository.kt` queries `ContactsContract` **on-device** for ≤8 autocomplete matches; results are held in memory for the compose screen. Nothing is uploaded — Play's on-device exemption applies |
+| App activity (interactions, search history, installed apps) | No | No | No analytics SDK; server search sends the query string to the *user's own* IMAP server as an IMAP `SEARCH` command (user-initiated, ephemeral) |
+| Web browsing | No | No | The reader WebView has JavaScript disabled and network loads blocked unless the user enables remote images (`ui/reader/HtmlBody.kt:62,98`) — and even then requests go to hosts referenced by the email, not to the developer |
+| App info and performance (crash logs, diagnostics) | **No** | No | Crash/debug reports are written to local app storage only (`reporting/ReportStore.kt` → `filesDir/debug_reports`); upload requires an explicit user tap **and** a configured endpoint, and the endpoint is empty in this repo (`ReportSubmitter.isEnabled` → false) |
+| Device or other IDs | No | No | No advertising ID (no `AD_ID` permission in the merged manifest), no device-ID reads; debug reports include only `Build.MANUFACTURER`/`MODEL`/OS version, and stay on device (`reporting/DiagnosticsCollector.kt`) |
+
+### Dependency audit (no ads / analytics / tracking SDKs)
+
+The complete runtime dependency list (`app/build.gradle.kts` + `gradle/libs.versions.toml`) is:
+AndroidX (core, lifecycle, activity, navigation, webkit, Compose BOM, Room, DataStore,
+WorkManager, Hilt-androidx), Dagger Hilt, kotlinx-coroutines, Eclipse Angus Mail (IMAP/SMTP),
+AppAuth-Android (OAuth), and Zetetic SQLCipher. There is **no** Google Play Services, Firebase,
+ad, analytics, or crash-reporting dependency, and the merged release manifest contains no
+`com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` permission (verified in
+`app/build/intermediates/merged_manifests/release/processReleaseManifest/AndroidManifest.xml`).
+
+## Security-practices section of the form
+
+- **Encrypted in transit:** yes — TLS everywhere, hostname verification pinned on
+  (`mail.<proto>.ssl.checkserveridentity=true` in `ImapClient.kt:480` / `SmtpSender.kt:50`).
+- **Encryption at rest (optional extra credit, not a form field):** credentials are always
+  encrypted with an Android Keystore key (`data/security/KeystoreCrypto.kt`,
+  `CredentialStore.kt`); the mail cache can be SQLCipher-encrypted with a Keystore-sealed random
+  key (`data/security/DatabaseKeyStore.kt`, opt-in, default off —
+  `SettingsRepository.kt:44`).
+- **Independent security review badge:** not requested (optional program).
+
+## If anything changes, this form must change
+
+| Future change | Data-safety impact |
+|---|---|
+| Configuring a real `DEBUG_REPORT_ENDPOINT` (issue #34) | Declare **App info and performance → Crash logs / Diagnostics**: collected, optional (user-initiated), not shared, encrypted in transit, user can delete (reports are deletable pre-submit) |
+| Any opt-in telemetry from issues #10/#11 | Declare the specific types as collected + optional; backlog decision requires it stay strictly opt-in (F-Droid constraint) |
+| Any new SDK with network access | Re-run this audit; SDKs count toward the form ("data transmitted by libraries/SDKs") |
+
+## Conservative alternative declaration (only if Google rejects "no collection")
+
+Declare the following, all with *Collected: yes · Optional: no · Shared: no · Processed
+ephemerally: yes · Purpose: App functionality · Encrypted in transit: yes · Deletion: user can
+delete data in-app (remove account)*:
+
+- Personal info → Email address (account sign-in)
+- Messages → Emails (sending/syncing the user's own mail with their provider)
+
+Contacts, crash logs, and diagnostics remain **not collected** under any reading — they
+demonstrably never leave the device in this codebase.

+# Permissions justification — merged manifest audit (issue #17)
+
+Every permission in the **merged release manifest** (source of truth:
+`app/build/intermediates/merged_manifests/release/processReleaseManifest/AndroidManifest.xml`
+after `./gradlew :app:bundleRelease`; attribution from
+`app/build/outputs/logs/manifest-merger-release-report.txt`), why it exists, where it is used,
+and the text to paste into Play Console where a declaration is required.
+
+## Complete merged-manifest permission list
+
+| Permission | Declared by | Runtime prompt? | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `INTERNET` | app manifest | No | IMAP/SMTP/OAuth/Graph connections to the user's mail provider |
+| `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` | app manifest | No | Connectivity checks so sync/WorkManager runs only when online |
+| `READ_CONTACTS` | app manifest | **Yes** | On-device recipient autocomplete in the compose screen |
+| `POST_NOTIFICATIONS` | app manifest | **Yes** (API 33+) | New-mail notifications + mandatory foreground-service status notification |
+| `FOREGROUND_SERVICE` | app manifest | No | Prerequisite for running any foreground service (API 28+) |
+| `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC` | app manifest | No | Type-specific permission for the IMAP IDLE push service (API 34+) |
+| `WAKE_LOCK` | `androidx.work:work-runtime:2.11.2` | No | WorkManager keeps the CPU awake while a scheduled job (mail sync, outbox send) runs |
+| `RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` | `androidx.work:work-runtime:2.11.2` | No | WorkManager reschedules pending jobs (periodic sync, queued outbox mail) after reboot |
+| `org.libremail.app.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` | `androidx.core:core:1.17.0` | No | Auto-generated app-signature permission guarding non-exported runtime receivers; not user-facing |
+
+Nothing else. Notably **absent** (worth stating in any review exchange):
+
+- **No `AD_ID`** — no ads or analytics SDKs at all.
+- **No storage/media permissions** — attachments use the Storage Access Framework
+  (`OpenMultipleDocuments` in `ui/compose/ComposeScreen.kt:88`) and a `FileProvider` for viewing
+  (`AndroidManifest.xml:95`).
+- **No `REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS`** — deliberately avoided because Play restricts
+  it; the app deep-links to the system app-details screen instead
+  (`push/BatteryOptimizationManager.kt`, comment cites this issue).
+- No location, camera, microphone, SMS, call-log, accessibility, or `QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES`.
+
+## `READ_CONTACTS` (Play "sensitive" permission — scrutinized, no declaration form)
+
+- **Feature:** recipient autocomplete while composing. `contacts/ContactsRepository.kt` queries
+  `ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email` for at most 8 name/email matches of the typed text.
+- **Data handling:** query and results are entirely **on-device** (results live in memory for
+  the suggestion dropdown). Nothing from the contacts provider is stored, logged, or
+  transmitted; an address reaches the network only if the user puts it on an email they send.
+- **Request flow:** first composition of the compose screen (`ui/compose/ComposeScreen.kt:101`);
+  denial is handled gracefully — `ContactsRepository.search` returns empty and composing works
+  normally (manual address entry).
+- **Play-Console justification text (if asked in review):**
+  > LibreMail is an email client. READ_CONTACTS powers recipient autocomplete on the compose
+  > screen only: the app queries the on-device contacts provider for names/email addresses
+  > matching what the user typed and shows up to 8 suggestions. Contact data is processed
+  > entirely on the device — it is never uploaded, stored outside the suggestion list, or shared.
+  > The permission is requested in context (first open of the compose screen) and the feature
+  > degrades gracefully if denied.
+
+## `POST_NOTIFICATIONS`
+
+- **Features:** (1) per-account new-mail notifications, generated on-device from synced mail —
+  `notifications/MailNotifier.kt` (no push/cloud-messaging service; lock-screen content
+  redacted via `VISIBILITY_PRIVATE`); (2) the persistent low-importance status notification
+  Android requires while the IMAP IDLE foreground service runs (`push/IdleService.kt:120`).
+- **Request flow:** once at first launch, API 33+ only (`MainActivity.kt`
+  `NotificationPermissionEffect`). If denied, `MailNotifier.notifyNewMail` no-ops (permission
+  re-checked before every post, `MailNotifier.kt:134`); mail sync itself is unaffected.
+- **Play-Console justification text (if asked):**
+  > Notifies the user of newly received email (per-account channels, generated on the device
+  > from the user's own mailbox — no push service) and shows the persistent status notification
+  > Android requires for the optional foreground IMAP IDLE connection. Requested once at first
+  > launch; all app functions except notifications work if declined.
+
+## `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC` (requires the Play Console FGS declaration)
+
+Play Console → App content → **Foreground service permissions** asks for the type's use case
+and a demo video. Facts to declare, all verifiable in `push/IdleService.kt`:
+
+- **What runs:** one foreground service (`.push.IdleService`, manifest
+  `foregroundServiceType="dataSync"`, `AndroidManifest.xml:89`) holding a long-lived IMAP IDLE
+  (RFC 2177) connection per configured account so the user's own mail server can push new mail
+  instantly. On server activity it triggers a normal sync into the local cache and a new-mail
+  notification.
+- **Why a foreground service:** IMAP IDLE requires a continuously open TCP connection that
+  survives while the app is backgrounded; it cannot be modeled as deferrable work. WorkManager
+  **is** used for everything deferrable (periodic sync, outbox sending) — the service exists
+  only for the always-connected push case. There is no push-notification alternative (FCM)
+  because plain IMAP servers cannot address one, and the app deliberately uses no Google cloud
+  services.
+- **User control / lifecycle:** starts only when at least one account exists **and** the "push
+  mail" setting is enabled (`LibreMailApplication.kt:70`); the setting is a visible toggle in
+  Settings (`ui/settings/SettingsScreen.kt:147`); the service stops reactively when the toggle
+  turns off or the last account is removed, and shows a persistent low-importance status
+  notification while running (`IdleService.startAsForeground`).
+- **Declaration text to paste:**
+  > LibreMail is an email client. The dataSync foreground service maintains a long-lived IMAP
+  > IDLE (RFC 2177) connection to the user's own mail server so new mail arrives instantly.
+  > IMAP has no out-of-band push channel (such as FCM), so real-time delivery requires keeping
+  > this user-visible connection open; all deferrable transfers (periodic sync, sending queued
+  > mail) already use WorkManager instead. The service runs only while the user has an account
+  > configured and the "push mail" setting enabled, displays a persistent status notification,
+  > and stops immediately when the user disables the setting or removes their last account.
+- **Demo video (human step):** screen-record: Settings → toggle "push mail" on → the status
+  notification appears → send the account a mail from elsewhere → the new-mail notification
+  arrives with the app backgrounded → toggle off → status notification disappears.
+- **Note:** the app targets SDK 37, so the API-34 requirement to declare a type for every FGS
+  is in force; `FOREGROUND_SERVICE` plus the typed permission are both declared and the service
+  calls `ServiceCompat.startForeground(..., FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_DATA_SYNC)`
+  (`IdleService.kt:136`).
+
+## Library-injected permissions (`WAKE_LOCK`, `RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED`)
+
+Injected by `androidx.work:work-runtime:2.11.2` for its own machinery: holding a partial wake
+lock while an enqueued job executes, and re-registering scheduled jobs after a reboot. LibreMail
+uses WorkManager for periodic mail sync (`data/sync/` workers), reliable outbox sending
+(`SendWorker.kt`), and the opt-in debug-report upload (`ReportUploadWorker.kt`, dormant —
+endpoint unconfigured). Neither permission needs a Play declaration; keep this attribution handy
+for review questions.

+LibreMail is a free and open-source email client for Android, built with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose and Material 3 (Material You). It aims for a friendly default experience with power-user features tucked under an Advanced Settings group.
+
+Features:
+
+* Send and receive email with Outlook/Microsoft (OAuth 2.0), Gmail, Yahoo and iCloud (app password), and any other IMAP/SMTP provider
+* Guided first-run onboarding: welcome, vendor picker, per-vendor setup, then straight to your inbox
+* Offline-first: a local mail cache with full-history backfill (resumable) and an optional device-only retention limit
+* Multiple accounts with a unified inbox and per-account filtering
+* Rich-text compose with a formatting toolbar, per-account signatures, drafts, and a reliable background outbox
+* Message bodies rendered in a hardened WebView: JavaScript off, remote images blocked by default (tracking-pixel protection)
+* On-device new-mail notifications (no push service), with optional instant push via IMAP IDLE
+* Search across cached mail and the server (IMAP SEARCH)
+* Attachments: download on demand, open in a system viewer, and attach files when composing
+* mailto: link handling and share-to-email
+* Material You dynamic theming, light/dark, edge-to-edge
+
+Privacy and security:
+
+* No ads, no analytics SDK, no tracking. By default network traffic goes only to your mail providers.
+* Credentials are encrypted with the Android Keystore; OAuth uses Authorization Code + PKCE.
+* Optional (opt-in) extras: SQLCipher cache encryption, a biometric/device-credential app lock, Android Backup of settings only, and local-only debug reports that are sent nowhere unless you explicitly submit one.
+
+LibreMail is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
