Best option I can think of is privacy.com

You can create virtual cards linked to your bank account and the transaction data is masked when processed by you bank. All my bank transactions show up as NSA Gift Shop. My bank doesn't know where I'm spending my money. Yes you have to trust privacy.com...

Similar question: Android smart watches only connect to one phone. I like receiving silent notifications on my watch from my android phone. However I also have an Apple phone for work and would like a ring or some other small wearable (not a second watch) to receive notifications from my Apple phone.

I use Eufy doorbells, locks, and cameras. I realize they are a Chinese company, but that is almost unavoidable until the US gets back to actually manufacturing tech.

The reason I like Eufy is the local storage and no required subscription fees.

First quick check of the app with classysharkExodus shows the following trackers built in:

1. Google AdMob - "AdMob makes earning revenue easy with in-app ads, actionable insights, and powerful, easy-to-use tools that grow your app business"
2. Google Firebase Analytics - This logs user language preference and user location

I think Graphene OS was commenting about them on Twitter. I'll see if I can find the posts.

We need an online guide, based on make and model, on how to disable the transmission of this data.

As someone who has worked fraud and online investigations, and both written and served search warrants; it is not an option. A probable cause affidavit is presented to a judge and if the judge agrees there is sufficient probable cause, a search warrant is issued. This is an order by the judge and not optional. The judge can hold the company in contempt if they refuse to obey his/her order.

"helped" is very misleading. Companies can't refuse to provide information they have when served a search warrant / court order. These companies DID NOT choose to provide the info on their own.

Regarding: "On Android you can use [Stealth] . That's what I use for searches that pull up Reddit posts."

The stealth protocol does not have anything to do with accessing individual sites or services. The purpose of stealth is when trying to estata VPN connection to a provider that does not allow VPNs. For example, a public wifi that blocks VPN connections or some countries that require ISPs to block VPN connections.

Anytype has responded and I had a couple other clarifying questions. Their first response:

"Hi! In our privacy policy we include Amplitude & Sentry & explain why we work with them: anytype.io/app_privacy. Currently, you can opt-out by electing local-only or self-hosted network Mode"

Sentry is only used for bug tracking and I don't have any issue or privacy concerns with that.

I had already looked on their website for a privacy policy and the only one I could locate was a website only privacy policy. I learned later that the application privacy policy is buried as a link somewhere within the website privacy policy. This is not very easy to find.

I reviewed the application privacy policy and it conflicted with their answer stating that a user could opt out of information sharing with Amplitude by using "local only" or "self-hosted". So I pointed this out and posted this reply to them:

"Also, app privacy policy section for Amplitude states: Amplitude Analytics Purpose: deliver behavioral and app usage data. Opt-out possible: NO"

This is the response I received:

"Indeed this is outdated information, as it was written before self-hosting and local-only mode were properly configurable. Opt-out is now possible using these methods, and we will be updating the policy accordingly."
