    On the Google Play page data safety section, they seem to share and collect about as much data as Nova.

      I figured as much considering their heavy ad spend on the play store. They pop up as the number one result as an ad for every launcher search I make.

        I found an alternative called Olauncher.minimal af launcher. Play store says it collects and shares nothing, though I don’t know how easy it is to fool. It seems ok so far, though I’m not sure I really want a minimalist launcher.
