Re: Android keyboard: your choice.

Arno,
 

Since Helium keyboard does not use Firebase and also does not
have internet access, this is not an issue.

 
How do you know it doesn't use Firebase ?  (how did you figure that out ?)

Because I checked the code: <https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard>

But do I understand you correctly that if an app uses Firebase it doesn't
need the INTERNET permission (and/or alike) to be able "go online" ?

No, but it needs to contain code to use Firebase. If you don't believe
me, see the link above or ask someone else you trust to assist you with
that.
