How is LineageOS for privacy?
I assume it not completely locked down, but does it mean Google doesn't have access to everything like I assume it does with Android?

Even without explicit installation of GApps, Lineage still uses and connects to quite a few Google services in the background.
It's a great way of keeping older devices up to date, but not much more than that.
Yes, this is the crux of LineageOS. There is a fork called DivestOS that is more libré and reduces dependence on Google services, as well as having bootloader re-locking for some devices.
Divest is pretty great, I use it myself
