Privacy protection in harbour apps

I've read that jolla applies several restrictions to apps that are being released in the harbour (some of these restrictions are mentioned in https://harbour.jolla.com/faq), but what are those restrictions precisely?

Can an harbour app e.g.

  1. Access the contacts ?
  2. Access the calendar ?
  3. Access Emails ?
  4. See which email accounts (email addresses and passwords) are configured ?
  5. Access the clipboard ?
  6. Run other apps ?
  7. Scan nearby wifi hotspots ?
  8. Access configured wifi hotspots (username, password, BSSID) ?
  9. Read phone and SIM identifiers (IMEI, IMSI, ... ) ?

How does jolla check whether an closed source app complies with these restrictions?
