/e/OS is intended to be a privacy-focused system, so we strive to be as transparent as possible about any outbound, inbound connections made by /e/OS to first-party, third-party domains and servers. First-party domains and servers adhere to our policy’s privacy guidelines, but Third-party domains and servers may keep logs and may not be as private as ours. You can check their privacy policies on their respective websites.
