This is not true.

There are numerous flaws with LineageOS, such as defaulting to google DNS and sending your location and IP address to google A-GPS (assisted GPS) servers every time you use an app that uses location, including the camera. They get your latitude and longitude every time. There are numerous other google services active on LineageOS.

LineageOS is not a privacy focused OS for android hardware phones.
