On Keyboard Apps
Do not ever use any keyboard apps that are proprietary and/or require network permission. It doesn't matter how great that auto-complete is, its garbage if its sending everything you type to a server somewhere just to be data mined. It doesn't even matter if it has a "good" privacy policy or if you trust the creator, sending it away incurs the chance of being intercepted by a less trusted party.
