I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every time I used google assistant. This is just some of the data and I'm very sure there is even more data they have.

Can you use banking apps on it?

Why would you want to use a banking app on something as insecure as a phone??!?

When your bank tells you that the code booklet will be phased out and mobile app will be the only way in the future.
