I really care about my privacy. But I just can't break from SwiftKey keyboard. It's just so good. It's really unfortunate that it's owned by Microsoft.

If you are interested, there is this: https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard

Not prefect but about as good as gboard imo

Openboard and Florisboard are pretty good alternatives. I don't like them though (nor do I prefer Gboard or Swiftkey) as I prefer a type of keyboard very practical to write due to it's rounded keys, which is Typewise.

You can block it's internet access, but I don't know if you would still get all features.
