Just install LineageOS on it and have nobody spy on you: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/#xiaomi
Don't get me wrong, I like these free OS versions, but while I could teach my wife, my mother in law etc to manage Netguard, I couldn't teach them to handle Lineage, f-Droid all by themselves.
Is that part even made by Xiaomi?
or Telegram
Or Signal
