"textContent": "Thank you (all) very much for your advice. I’ve gotta say, it’s really reassuring to have your guidance and, tbh, great to just feel a bit less alone in caring about all of this.\n\nOne final question if that’s ok:\n\n> If a provider claims they don’t collect telemetry and do everything locally and you still see them sending data over the network something smells funny.\n\nIn the case of draw things, there is a small amount of network activity every time I use it - we’re talking about 10-25 kb according to system monitor. The app creators say that some network activity will occur in order to get an updated list of available models from Github. However, I’ve no idea how much activity I ought to expect this to take. So I’m wondering, does what I’m seeing seem consistent with what the creators say the app does? And/or how much network traffic would I expect to see if something more sinister were going on?",
