## Criteria

| Criterion | Answer | Note | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Open source | Partial | Built from open source code, but the default Magic Earth maps app is proprietary. | https://doc.e.foundation/os/apps/maps/ |
| No trackers or telemetry | Partial | No third-party trackers; the website uses self-hosted Matomo, and update servers collect statistics for internal use. | https://e.foundation/legal-notice-privacy/ |
| No ads or data sales | Yes | Funded by sales of Murena phones and cloud plans and by donations; the privacy policy says data is never sold. | https://e.foundation/legal-notice-privacy/ |
| Independent audit | No | No independent audit is published. |  |
