OP just deflecting and ignoring… here’s the deal about privacy:
If the company doesn’t advertise itself for not saving logs or selling your data: Don’t waste time with the ToS.
They are saving logs and selling your data.
If the company advertise itself for not saving logs or selling your data, but it’s American: Don’t waste time with the ToS.
The government can legally force them into cooperation while placing them under a gag order.
If the company advertise itself for not saving logs or selling your data and it’s not American: Read the ToS if you want, but it’s not important.
You will hardly find anything that is not open source recommended for privacy. Read independent code review of the software and third party audits of the company.
Yes, and IMHO a good trick to shortcut that is F-Droid. They spend a lot of resources to do all that cf https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features/
