+The app syncthing-android does not collect any user information. It does run Syncthing, which does expose some networking information to work and may collect usage-data if you agree to it or run betas/release candidates. This documentation article has specific information on this: https://docs.syncthing.net/users/security.html  
+The app uses the camera solely to scan QR-codes to enter a device ID. Pictures are not stored in the process.
