I don’t feel so concerned about images being sent to the server, but rather the information derived and collected about the images.

If it makes you comfortable, I am not sending text (or any other metadata for images including location, camera fingerprint etc). I plan to add basic analytics to know which views/features are being used and also crash detections.

Again, if it's not mentioned in the Privacy Policy, a sane thing would be to assume it's not being done.

You can be paranoid, but then you shouldn't have a cell phone at all, let alone an always-connected smartphone.

No, its actually insane to take every written statement at its word.
