docs: plain-language privacy analysis of the official ParkSmarter app

Browse source 
docs/OFFICIAL_APP_PRIVACY.md — readable-by-anyone comparison based on the official
app's manifest + decompiled bundle (v4.4.0): auto-sends GPS to IPS on map open;
bundles Segment/Amplitude/Firebase/Sentry + ad-ID + install-referrer; can send
IMEI; but NO background location. Contrasts with BigBrainParking (explicit-only
location, zero analytics). Confidence levels labeled. Linked from README.

## Privacy
BigBrainParking sends your location to ParkSmarter **only** when you explicitly tap "My
location" and search; it opens on your last parking lot instead of your GPS, and ships **no**
analytics/tracking (no Segment/Amplitude/Firebase/Sentry, no ad-ID, no Google services).
For a plain-language comparison with the official app — which auto-sends your GPS on map
open and bundles that tracking stack — see
**[docs/OFFICIAL_APP_PRIVACY.md](docs/OFFICIAL_APP_PRIVACY.md)**. What reaches the API and
what never does is also spelled out in the app's **About** page.
## Build & run (dev)
Requires Node 20, JDK 17, Android SDK, and a GrapheneOS device (or any Android device)
