Hi,
There is IMHO no good way of knowing that unless you inspect source code
of all the apps you use (and of course for some you'll not have source
code).
On Ubuntu Phone apps are of course confined with apparmor, so they
cannot suddenly steal data they are not supposed to access.
An interesting study re Android and iOS, just released:

Cheers,

Speaking about our Ubuntuphone: do we have this issue, do we have such
apps which are "phoning home"? The HERE I have disabled.
Thanks
