Linked Task Request

The project owner didn't request for this contribution. However, I opted to engage in the project by creating some content. I proposed my idea to the project owner via an issue on Github. The project owner obliged and I carried out the task.

Overview

Privacy is considered a sacred commodity in these modern times. That is why a lot of people are skeptical about the kinds of software they use these days. This is because, embedded in some of these software are components that could reveal some certain private information of yours.
In some cases, your private information is highly required to utilize the services of that software.
If you feel it won't be a risk parting with some of your personal information, then you can go ahead to utilize the software.

The question then is How do I know a software that collects my personal information?

The answer to that question is a "Privacy policy". A privacy policy is a statement by the company or developer telling what happens when you use the app with regards to your privacy and personal information. This document is very vital and is necessary for every software, project or company. Even in cases where a user's personal information is not collected, this document is necessary. It clears every form of skepticism or doubt of users when they utilize the software.
CarnetDocumentation is a note taking app. It has other amazing qualities that makes it great. However, it lacked a privacy policy.
The developer doesn't collect personal information, but, the app uses some third-party service that does.

I engaged in creating a policy statement for this project.

Actual content

The document I created for the project is a privacy policy.
The document was created using a standard privacy policy template. However, the contents were modified by me to suit this particular project.

Additional information

The policy statement has been merged by the project owner into the project's repository.
This contribution was merged a long time ago by the project owner, however, I didn't get to know about it until recently.
