Question about vanguard

Sorry if this is asked alot. But I wanted to play Valorant, but I’ve heard that Vanguard runs at the kernel level. I’m concerned about privacy and I don’t mean general data (I know social media already has most of my information). I’m specifically worried about the fact that could act as a backdoor.

I’ve also seen some discussions saying this might change in the future, but I haven’t been able to find much information about it. So I’m really wondering if there is any real risk in having Vanguard installed with kernel-level access.

Thanks in advance
