> However, "my data is being sent off my device" is incorrect, as GP explained. Metadata, derived from your data, with noise added to make it irreversible, is being sent off your device.

Sounds like my data is being sent off my device.

> It's the equivalent of sending an MD5 of your password somewhere

Sounds even worse lol

It does not sound like that at all.

There is plenty of data on your device that isn’t “your data” simply due to existing on your device.
