> As TechCrunch noted, the opt-out provision also does not appear to actually stop the data collection, but simply removes tags linking the data to a specific device
I emailed oneplus support and complained about their data collection and their lack of documentation about what is collected. Let them know actual paying customers care about this. It's not much but it's not nothing.
I know there's alternative ROMs such as LineageOS, but I wish it was possible to install Android directly from Google. Like, you download an app from the Play Store, it scans your hardware and download a fresh Android build from Google compatible with your device and your done.

To clarify:
* Make sure adb is installed (https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-lin...)
* Run "adb shell" (you should see a prompt that says OnePlus)
* Run "pm uninstall -k --user 0 net.oneplus.odm" (you should see "Success")
Not really doable, but I wish it was.
