It isn't open source, which makes it's hard to verify their claims, but Magic Earth uses OSM data and has traffic data in some countries. It has worked really well for me in the UK with arrival times being quite accurate to within a couple of minutes for 3-4 hour drives. They claim not to gather/sell any of your data, as they make their money through corporate customers.
fwiw I'm pretty sure in several countries it would be illegal for them to gather/sell your data if they've explicitly said they don't do that. I might actually trust that fact more than I'd trust the code, since they could easily build from a slightly different code base than the one shared online, if they wanted.
