With some wallets, when you use a 3rd party public node to check your wallet balances, they will expose your xpub (extended public key) and potentially reveal the common ownership of all the UTXOs (unspent transaction outputs) associated with that xpub.
Apparently, (AI says), that xpub threat vector should be rare now with the industry standard wallets.
But in general, your actions don't leave traces on 3rd party nodes. No one could be sniffing out your common input ownership heuristics, potentially connectning it with KYC identities, your IP address, etc.
