None of the default connections sends any data varying based on + the user, installation or specific device. The only information revealed to + the GrapheneOS servers are the generic device model (such as Pixel 7 Pro) and + OS version which are necessary for obtaining updates. The default connections + provide the OS and apps with updates, set the system clock, check each network + connection for internet connectivity, download a global database (does not + vary based on location) with predicted satellite locations when using Location + and obtain attestation chain signing keys for the hardware keystore needed for + the hardware-based attestation feature.
