That's not definitionally false, if it sounds false to you is because you have an implicit assumption that does not apply.
Data from users does not imply user sessions on the collector side (session as a set of multiple data points belonging to the same user).
If sessions are collected, then, privacy is impossible to guarantee. We are well aware of that, having worked on this problems for almost 20 years. But that's precisely what Cliqz never did. All messages from our users are record-unlinkable for us, meaning that we have no way to reconstruct any session.
