If the Privacy Policy contains no mention of sending images to the server and storing the images and/or text contents, then ... it's not happening.

A Privacy Policy is just words in most jurisdictions. Short of a Wireshark analysis, there's no way to know for sure.

I'd rather the program asked if I want to send the crash log the next time I opened it. I have several programs that do that, and I wish it was more widespread.

Well, it's already illegal, it just takes time to prosecute enough data processors until others start being afraid of the fines and start ACTUALLY implementing GDPR.
