Thanks for your replyAbsolutely no data is sent to iodé! Even the OTA updating is completely anonymous: the OTA files are stored on gitlab, and builds are stored on github. All data gathered to present statistics are stored locally on the phone.
The only thing that could be considered as an exception is the News app, which anonymously checks once a day our server to grab new data, is any. No data is sent, it is just a basic connection to pull new data.
iodéOS has been audited by several reviewers for that aspect, e.g.
iodéOS - does the data saving Android operating system fulfill its promise?
We took a close look at iodéOS, which is based on LineageOS. Can the privacy friendly operating system fulfill its promises? Read our test!tarnkappe.info
We fully understand such concerns, and plan to release our source code in the mid-term.
Is iodé based on LineageOS or SODP? I ask based on this info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...onyaosp-11-beta.4180835/page-20#post-85563495
