Not if you stop them from doing so.
You can't stop them. it is built in.
Except... you can. The only tihng you can't remove is backdoors when physical access to the phone is had. But that's only relevant for state glow agencies. I highly doubt you're important enough for the NSA to care about your phone. So yes. Yes you absolutely 100% can turn every single thing off.
The NSA records everything. Any device that has an FCC stamp on it has built in unremovable backdoors. And Google has come under fire for tracking people even when every indication on the device says that they can't. Apple phones are taking 3d infrared facial pictures every 5 second. Considering that we are having to fight in Congress for our right to repair or equipment because we don't actually own them should tell you everything you need to know. What makes you think you can disable any settings the company doesn't want turned off on a phone you don't own?
