> By default, AOSP itself also sends personally identifying info to Google servers through low level system calls.

Can you explain more about this? What kind of information is sent? And does LineageOS not disable this?

No, LineageOS does not disable this.

Personal opinion but the LineageOS project seems more concerned with security than privacy. The idea of Google hijacking your privacy for profit doesn't seem to really bother them too much. Their web site and wiki repeatedly address security but rarely privacy.

As for explaining further, I will defer to the document below from the e foundation.
