https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Samsung-Apps-and-Services/Open-source/m-p/2667381#M92239 I think you're confused about what the term Open Source means. Android, in and of itself, is open source as a part of the Android Open Source Project. Meaning the code is free and available to be used and modified by smartphone manufacturers and custom rom builders. Samsung builds their proprietary OneUI on top of the open sourced Android. The term has nothing to do with your personal information.
