Many Gboard users have expressed concern about the keyboard logging inputs and sharing data with Google. Reporting from Android Police found that Gboard activity could potentially be intercepted, decoded, and tied directly to users' identities.
Google's own support page states that Gboard sends searches, usage statistics, and voice recordings from talk-to-text to Google, though saved words and anything else you type (such as passwords or chats) aren't transmitted. Google may, however, use your inputs for on-device training of its AI models, a process called federated learning, and send that information back to its servers. It may also request access to your audio snippets to improve speech recognition.
You can opt out of Gboard data sharing
System > Language & input > On-screen keyboard > Gboard > Privacy and select Delete learned words and data. If you think you may have opted into audio data sharing, tap Settings > Privacy at the top of your keyboard and toggle off Audio donations.
Privacy in Gboard, you can also disable usage statistics sharing, personalization, and "Improve for everyone" data collection, which sends patterns of words and phrases to Google's servers.
Users who are especially privacy-conscious may want to consider a Gboard alternative, such as HeliBoard, which is offline, free, and open source, or FUTO, which also works offline and doesn't collect or share user data. Of course, these tools will have their own limitations compared to Gboard's features.
