they do collect usage stats by default though.
which include typed sentences passed through their ai model and words usage counts.
it can all be turned off and gboard seems to respect these options. it doesn't access online services unless requested with these options off.
If you mean by "collect usage stats" train their AI model on-device and send the training result to Google, then yes. If you mean that the actual words get sent to Google's servers, then no. There was a study shared recently that looked into this. Only metadata about what's typed is sent. That's not nothing of course, but it's not what Tencent does at all.
E: Found it.
