Revision history [back]

Hello, I'm considering updating my Jolla 1 to a Sony Xperia X with Sailfish X. Privacy is one of my key motivators - and was similarly so when I bought my J1 in the first place.

Invasive data collection in the norm on all other mobile platforms (even so-called "open" variants - see e.g. here). I can imagine that, for a small company like Jolla, the option to sell data must have very tempting financial rewards.

So: I'd be very grateful if someone could confirm. Does Sailfish X on an an Xperia track behaviour, use, or send any other kind of telemetry to Jolla or any other party? If so, can it be stopped?

As someone who believes in the right to privacy, this is a critical question for me. And, to be clear, it is something I believe in sufficiently to pay money for. So: I would happily pay an annual "subscription" fee for Sailfish in return for a privacy guarantee.

[And in case anyone is wondering: it's not because I want to do illegal things. I simply believe that I should have a choice in what data I share, with whom, and when].

Thanks.
