So you can download it and set the device to airplane mode, never go online again - they won't be able to monitor anything, even if there's code for that included.
Sounds counter-intuitive on a smart phone where you most likely want to be online again at some point in time.
So trust them. If you don't and want to use this, buy a separate device for it, or VM.
