There is an app on fdroid recently that enables access to Gulags “Circle to search” functionility, which is quite interesting: CircleToSearch App | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
Any idea how to find out what information about the device using it goes out to G?
Not sure if this is the app you are searching, but I tend to check on exodus first: Report for com.circletosearch.android 1.4.9 - εxodus

This is obviously a completely different app. Just have a look at the package name, being com.akslabs.circletosearch.
For privacy analysis of the other app: looking at how it works, pretty much only the image you take is sent to Google. However, the image is also uploaded to an image sharing service, catbox, which will hold the image for an hour.

Yes, but which info comes with the image? I guess there could be some data involved like my IMEI and/or IMSI, even phone nr. etc..
Is there a way to test this? I am not a coder myself, so having the code on Github is nice but I cant understand it…
