I’d rather have a Foss project with a simple privacy policy that clearly says they store nothing than one that has no policy at all

Privacy policies are BS anyway. Better to just not have an app that depends on a server or entity.

A privacy policy is only legally required when you actually collect user data. Most devs don’t write a privacy policy for no reason, so seeing one can often be suspicious. Btw if you are worried about a FOSS app tracking you without disclosing it in their privacy policy, if this is the case, F-Droid would display it under the Anti-features section.

Its a good practice to have a policy, even if its not legally required
