what kind of prof is that?

Sorry for the late reply but yes, this works on Lineage, one of the reasons I’m using it!

A lot oft ROMs allow you go completely disable Internet access for a certain app. Disabling the data collection toggles in GBoard and disabling internet access for GBoard, Play Services, Play Store and the Google App should prevent most logging.

Almost all Linuxes are really private. Because of your ethics and morals, I would probably switch to Debian or Arch, and use Flatpak where possible to prevent apps from spying on one another and reading files from other apps or your system.

Kicksecure, Whonix, Tails, Qubes, … exist but they’re not needed and to much of a hassle for day to day use for most people.

They already have the Framework Chromebook, which should ship with Coreboot.

Somehow they might got a special version of the app. Really really unlikely though, it’s probably just A/B testing or false logs.

It doesn’t require you to use Facebook though. They might use FB analytics or tracking, but probably dont, or only for very few users.

Exodus Privacy detects trackers in apps, here is their report for Ally: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.ally.MobileBanking/latest/

Many other apps contain way more and worse trackers, just some Amazon and Google Firebase is on the light side.

According to Exodus Privacy (they analize mobile apps for trackers), Ally only contains Amazon and Google trackers (Google Firebase Analytics is used by almost all apps): https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.ally.MobileBanking/latest/

Others also say their Ally app doesn’t connect to Facebook. Maybe you have a Unicorn or a modified app (rather unlikely though)?
