> IMEI

According to the GrapheneOS FAQ: “As of Android 10, apps cannot obtain permission to access non-resettable hardware identifiers such as the serial number, MAC addresses, IMEIs/MEIDs, SIM card serial numbers and subscriber IDs.”

> phone number

I don’t think it has access to this.

> location

You can turn off location permissions. Spoofing location (so the app doesn’t know it has no permission) is a planned feature but with no ETA.

> sensor data

You can turn off sensor permissions alongside other app permissions. This is another toggle present in GrapheneOS but not stock Android.
