Oh, this was no attempt to say "Just use proprietary software and block it". I use a (different) FOSS keyboard myself, and as far as I am able to, I try to only use FOSS. I'm all for it.
It was just a question that emerged from the combination of "Android keyboard" + "privacy". Keyboard are potentially very sensitive applications, and I was wondering if there were some mechanisms I did not know about that could breach privacy.
