Just my experience: The RP1 does not connect directly to the internet, and uses WiFi only if it is enabled. Yes, the Digital Paper app is required to load documents, but the computer needs not be online. There is no sign that data is being transferred from the Digital Paper app to Sony, and no option to opt in or out.
Now, if I were so inclined, I could say that none of this matters, and Sony is stealing my reading list, but the same could be said about just about any electronic device, these days. In fact, android devices are frequently found to be talking to the mothership, as are Lenovo computers. Apple devices and computers talk to Apple behind your back. So, I will exercise common sense when using any electronics, but the RP1 is the most focused screen device I have used in the past several decades, and I like that about it.
