I’m using e/OS on a fairphone 6 since some months. I would like to use Android Auto for long trips, though the official documentation tells me to install Google, Google Maps, Google Speech Recognition and then Android Auto.
What privacy implications has installing these? Does the “Advanced Privacy” of e/OS help in keeping my data as far as possible?
I know, that using Google Maps and Android Auto will give Google the usage data of what I’m doing in these while I’m using them. But what about when they are currently not in use? Or apps, that I use while Android Auto is active, but which don’t have an integration for it?
There seems to be a set of OSS stub apps, that replace the Google Apss, though from what I have found online they give very mixed results.
