Self-hosted under a VPN would be the way to go if you want to be 100% sure.

The problem with public instances is that you can't really know what the owner does with the data. There are safe ones, and malicious ones. I'd just look for one that has a good reputation.

On Android you can install Organic Maps, but the downside is that you'll need to download the maps for each area you want to have a map of (which, takes storage)

OsmAnd+ seems to be a good alternative recommended often, but I just haven't used it.

On PC, OpenStreetMaps is your friend

For search engine, I go with SearXNG, and for web browser, Mull. Or hardened Firefox, on PC.
