Add rights management for native apps

I know the best situation is that pre-checkin apps works, and you can just install apps from official store without thinking. But as seen in comments of Flashlight app, it has caused little storm in the glass of water. App "calls home", and there is no information about it in the description or anywhere else, well now in comments but.. Anyway many people have uninstalled app, since you wouldn't think flaslight needs an internet connection.

So maybe some kind of rights management would be nice, or some kind of announcement that Jolla is checking apps, so user can trust that app wont send any more information that it says (and it must be said if it does so). That flashlight app was taken just as example here, since "it is the first one" which brings this up. But this of course will effect to all apps. User should be able to trust apps in store, and now the situation isn't fully that.
