Fitness Trackers with the best privacy policies?

I would like to buy a fitness tracker but of course most are not privacy-friendly. What brands have the best privacy policies?

Gadgetbridge is not there yet in terms of usability so I would like to know which commercial options are the best.

Thanks!

How many years we should wait before we delete the email or phone number?

I am always changing my email address and phone number. I do this every time. But after I disable my phone number or email address (after a while) they can be used by other people.

For example: Gmail allows people to get the deleted username after 6 months. But this is dangerous. Because my old friend can send email to my old email after 6 months. The same problem exist on phone number.

For that reason I start to use new email/phone number. And after 1 year I delete the old account/phone number.

But generally how many year later we should delete the old phone number and email address? What is your experiences and opinions?

mailbox.org inbox encryption

Those who use this service, do you know how to encrypt my mailbox? I have enabled the "mailbox.org Guard" setting but there is a second setting "Inbox encryption" where we are asked to enter a public PGP key ... What should I do, enable both settings or just leave one enabled?

Eufy app not getting notifications on GrapheneOS

I'm using GrapheneOS with Google play services installed and all is good except for the Eufy app. It's a doorbell cam app. I should get notifications when someone rings the doorbell or if any motion is detected in front of the camera but I never get them. The notifications do work if I'm actively using the app or if I open it and leave it open in the background. I double checked all my notification settings in the app, gave the app unrestricted battery usage, etc... but no luck. It very well could just be something with that particular app since everything works fine. Anyone have ideas on what is going on?

Best way to use Microsoft Teams (more than once)

I need to access my Teams every day for lectures. How can I do this in the most privacy friendly way possible?

I used to live boot Mint from a USB when I needed to Zoom, but with Teams I can't download/install anything on live Mint, and it's inconvenient to login every single day - I'd rather my creds are saved.

Any advice?

Affordable Phone for Running Lineage or /e/OS

CalyxOS and GrapheneOS aren't mentioned because I don't want a Google phone. I would appreciate any recommendations that aren't Pixels. Is anyone familiar with the Murena Teracube? Thanks.
