Comment on Ash HN: Any viable alternative device to a smartphone on the market today?parent

Comments

I'm not a security expert, but from my understanding your (fantastic) minimal use is still compromised and you are giving plenty of data to both google and govs.

I got most of my impetus to go phone-less from the book 'digital vegan' (highly recommend!)

Could you advise what sort of data might be leaked? I'm curious, just not sure how to ask without it sounding antagonistic.

I use contacts, phone, SMS, and the odd search on Google Maps and Chrome (once a week or so). All I can imagine they're able to track is the time, date and recipient of calls, plus the message for SMS and search history.

Is there something I don't know about that Android records on top of that?
