The privacy policy is not accurate of the reality of data collection at all and it will be changed. I have learned to not trust lawyers recommendations and always go with a gut instinct.
We are a hardworking team that is focused on building, so this fell between the cracks to update sooner. I can assure the core team all values individual sovereignty and freedom heavily. We certainly are not perfect but doing our best to keep progressing in the right direction.
Happy to answer any further questions
quotingWe are in the process of updating our privacy policy to be more accurate of our current data collection and privacy values. We made the mistake of working with a legal entity that used a lot of permissive language which is industry standard. Lawyers are expensive and often fear driven, but we have learned our lesson and take accountability for putting something out that isn’t indicative of the truth.

The actual reality is that we do not collect ANY on device data right now. In future versions of our Sol:OS, we only want to collect anonymized analytics that will be able to be opted out of if preferred to in the system settings. The purposed of collecting this data will only to better understand device usage metrics, not customer behavior habits.
You can actually verify this through network logs by inspecting network requests on existing devices using tools like HTTPToolkit [1] or Android Logcat [2].

We are happy to answer any questions / clear up our stance on privacy as a consumer hardware product. We value this tremendously, and even more so for children using a Daylight.
We appreciate the community calling this out.
