+# Disclaimer
+
+### 1. Google Accounts.
+
+You hold yourself accountable if you are to use Aurora Store with your personal Google Account, which may cause your account to be blocked/blacklisted by Google.
+
+As per Google Play's Terms Of Service §4 and §2:
+
+#### §4 Rights and Restrictions
+
+> **Violation of License Terms.** If you violate any of the Content restriction provisions of the Terms, materially or repeatedly violate any of the other Terms or we are investigating you for suspected misconduct then Google may, without refund to you, terminate your access to Google Play, the Content or your Google Account and your rights under this licence will immediately terminate. We will notify you with the reason for our action unless we reasonably believe that to do so would cause Google or another person legal liability, would compromise an investigation, would compromise the operation of any Google products, services or systems, would cause harm to our users or would be in breach of the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority. See Disabled Accounts in Section 2 for additional information.
+>
+> **Restrictions:** You may not:
+>
+> - display (in part or in whole) the Content as part of any public performance or display even if no fee is charged except (a) where such use would not constitute a copyright infringement or violate any other applicable right or (b) as specifically permitted and only in the exact manner provided.
+> - sell, rent, lease, redistribute, broadcast, transmit, communicate, modify, sublicense, transfer, assign any Content to any third party including with regard to any downloads of Content that you may obtain through Google Play except as specifically permitted and only in the exact manner provided.
+> - use Google Play or any Content in conjunction with any stream-ripping, stream capture or similar software to record or create a copy of any Content that is presented to you in streaming format.
+> - use Content as part of any service for sharing, lending or multi-person use, or for the purpose of any other institution, except as specifically permitted and only in the exact manner provided.
+> - attempt to, or assist, authorize or encourage others to circumvent, disable or defeat any of the security features or components that protect, obfuscate or otherwise restrict access to any Content or Google Play.
+> - remove any watermarks, labels or other legal or proprietary notices included in any Content, or attempt to modify any Content obtained through Google Play, including any modification for the purpose of disguising or changing any indications of the ownership or source of Content.
+>
+> **Multiple Accounts.** If you have multiple Google Accounts with different user names, in some cases you may transfer Content out of an account and into another account, provided you are the owner of each such account and provided Google has enabled a feature of the relevant service allowing such transfers.
+
+#### §2 Your Use of Google Play
+
+> **Disabled Accounts.** If Google disables access to your account in accordance with the Terms (for example if you materially or repeatedly violate the Terms), you may be prevented from accessing Google Play, your account details or any files or other Content that is stored with your account. See the Help Center for more information. If you are the family manager of a family on Google Play and Google disables access to your account, your family members may lose access to family features requiring a family group, such as a family payment method, family subscriptions, or Content shared by family members. If you are a family member of a family on Google Play and Google disables your account, your family members will lose access to Content you have shared with them.

+# Aurora Store Privacy Policy
+
+Last Updated: **17.02.2021**
+
+## User data sent to Google by default
+
+The following data is mandatory to make the Service function, all of which Google needs for **Aurora Store** to be able to receive required data:
+
+- **IP Address** which is bound to network request
+- **Timezone, MCC & MNC** are stripped & replaced with a random constant
+- **BUILD_CONFIG** includes the app details - package name,
+  version-name, version-code
+- **BUILD** includes your device details, see for more info
+
+If you choose to use your own account, the following are added to the above:
+
+- **Account details** for Google sign-in verification
+
+We do not store, process or sell any of the collected data above. The data is sent to and processed by Google's servers directly untouched.
+
+All accounts being used within **Aurora Store** are saved onto the device as AAS Tokens & email pair for account verification. **No passwords** are saved to Aurora Store.
+
+## User data sent to our server by default
+
+The only data being sent to our server are **IP addresses**. This is to ensure the functionality and stability of our server, which detects the amount of GET requests from an IP address and if deemed them as spamming, will be banned from our server, otherwise rate-limited.
+
+Rate-limiting lasts for an hour. If you keep going over the 20 request per hour limit, an additional hour to the rate-limiting will be added for every addtional 20 requests. So do yourself a favour and don't do it.
+
+## Changes To This Privacy Policy
+
+We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are thus advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
+
+## Contact Us
+
+If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at **aurora.dev@gmail.com** or via our support groups on Telegram.

+# Aurora Store: A Google Playstore Client
+
+**Aurora Store** is an unofficial, FOSS client to Google's Play Store with an elegant design. Not only does Aurora Store download, update, and search for apps like the Play Store, it also empowers the user with new features.
+
+For those concerned with privacy, **Aurora Store** does not require Google's proprietary framework (spyware?) to operate. It works perfectly fine with or without Google Play Services or [MicroG](https://microg.org/).
+
+**Aurora Store** was originally based on Sergei Yeriomin's [Yalp store](https://github.com/yeriomin/YalpStore). **Aurora Store** v4.0 is a rewrite of version 3 in Kotlin that follows Material Design and runs on all devices running Android 4.4+. Read the roadmap page on our Wiki for more info!
