To start, let me quote Gaël…’’ /e/OS is neither into ideological postures nor into hardened security that could be useful to targeted people, but rather into a pragmatic approach to offer a usable mobile OS while protecting (normal) user’s personal data collection from Google & commercial apps publishers.’’
We definitely do not recommend /e/OS for users who are targeted by their Governments or any secret agencies.
/e/OS takes care of the protecting the average user from the data pilfering by Big Tech. Stock ROM be it from any particular country or any popular vendor, all have multiple applications that leak your information. How that information is used is not in your control. Your information, is extracted under the pretext of ‘optimizing your user / device experience’.In short, when it comes to stock ROM’s there are no saints.
We ensure the default set of applications that come with /e/OS are not sending data out. Users would also need to ensure that they do not randomly install applications from various repositories. Be aware what you are installing and be cautious of what permission you give.
