Anytime you use software built by someone other than you, any guarantee can be revoked at any time - the distributor can put whatever they want into the software! When a distributor makes claims about the privacy/security of a product, at some point you either trust them and take them at their word, or you don't - in which case, it doesn't matter what they say.
Unless the product is open-source and self-hosted, that is.
If the binary was built from a known source, and the build is reproducible, you can even be sure that the binary really represent the code in question; bugging a compiler so that it injects a malicious payload and keeps a crypto signature the same is a bit hard. (But the whole "trusting trust" chain applies.)
