The policy says "no location data is sent". But the map tab loads tiles, and that sends location, roughly, absent traffic analysis defense mechanisms. Seems like OSM tiles from OSM. I'm not saying this is terrible, but would be good to explain this.

For true paranoia, support mapsforge offline maps.
