Add privacy policy, closes # 62 #63

@plegall I tried tried to draft a privacy policy for the android app. IANAL but I tried to put there what is necessary. Even though I believe the GPDR should not affect Piwigo-Android I'd like you to cross-read.

@jeff-amn please also take a look, and keep in mind in case you add permissions, that we might need to explain the usage in the privacy policy...

@ramack , from what I've read on many websites the mobile apps should be GDPR compliant to avoid issues.

With regard to Piwigo-Mobile, the provision of a Privacy Policy is now mandatory and I cannot release a new version without providing Privacy Policy web pages in all languages in which the app is translated (should be stored on piwigo.org).

I'm going to prepare a GDPR version from your draft. May be we could share the same pages?

I have a lot of the wording for permissions from other projects. If you need any of that let me know which permissions and I'll provide it for you.

@EddyLB @plegall the more I think about Eddys suggestion, the more I think it would be the best to come up with a generic privacy policy on piwigo.org and include there sections for the iOS app, Andoird app and the website. From within the app, I think we can just link to this generic policy. But if anyone thinks we need to have it inside the app we could just use a WebView to show the content from the website.

For the galleries themselves I think it would be good to

Also we should think about a way to update it. Do we NEED to show in the apps, that the apps/piwigo.orgs policy and / or the connected piwigo gallery changed its privacy policy? Or can we just document, that the user has to check for updates?

For the short term I think I will just merge what I have above, this should at least allow to publish a first beta version.

I have now prepared a Privacy Policy for the iOS app from your draft (thank you!). As for many apps/sites, I have added that the developers will alert the user about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of the Privacy Policy provided at the top ;-)

From what I read on several guidelines, it is advised to add the Privacy Policy page inside the app for improving the user experience and avoid him/her to exit the app when opening it. It is also mandatory to provide contact info according to GDPR. @plegall has therefore created an iOS alias redirecting emails to me (and him of course). I suggest you do the same for the Android app.

If you are happy with this revised version, we could merge the two drafts on a web page of piwigo.org.

yes, but no worries, I am fine with what you finally have now and will happily drop this PR or at least the Privacy_Policy.md file in it.
