Description

The build.gradle contain quite a lot of dependencies on external libraries. As a privacy project, it would make sense to more clearly explain in the README (or linked elsewhere) why these are used and for what. I.e. Why can they be trusted?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the build.gradle file, identify each external library, and add a section in the README explaining why each is used and how it aligns with privacy goals.
