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. It's the equivalent of sending an MD5 of your password somewhere; you may still object, but it is not factually correct to say your password was transmitted.
Hackers love to have MD5 checksums of passwords. They make it way easier to find the passwords in a brute force attack.

Hackers love not understanding analogies. :)
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
There is plenty of data on your device that isn’t “your data” simply due to existing on your device.
a) MD5 is reversible, it just cost GPU time to brute force
b) It is unproven that their implementation is irreversible
