The App Store page addresses my immediate concern with giving Google access to every single thing I type on my phone:<p>&gt; What Gboard sends to Google:<p>&gt; When you do a search, Gboard sends your query to Google’s web servers so Google can process your query and send you search results. Gboard also sends anonymous statistics to Google to help us diagnose problems when the app crashes and to let us know which features are used most often.<p>&gt; What Gboard doesn’t send to Google:<p>&gt; Everything else. Gboard will remember words you type to help you with spelling or to predict searches you might be interested in, but this data is stored only on your device. This data is not accessible by Google or by any apps other than Gboard.
