LibreOffice doesn't do this. Enough said.
Heads up: Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out. If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.

We shouldn't need to say this, but as we see how the software world is changing...
Your documents are yours.
#LibreOffice will never peek at your files, and what's yours stays on your computer, unless you explicitly choose to share something.
That's how it should be.
