Hi. If your phone is sending information back to China, I wouldn’t worry about it unless you visit China frequently. And, are you doing anything that would upset China? Then why worry? They have no taxing or legal authority in the US to do anything with the data anyway. I’d worry way more about what the authority in YOUR jurisdiction does with the info. Aside from that, it’s a good phone. Go ahead and sleep tight.

And in China they do have a different language and different writing / letters. So they even won’t understand the data from us :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::grin::sweat_smile:

@cpgne My thoughts exactly. I would be far more concerned as to what the authorities in the USA were harvesting if I lived there. [and perhaps if we don’t live there]

If /e/ was ready to be installed on the Fairphone 3 now I’d prob do that.
