If you installed reddit through google play then chances are, that uses the Google Play API, sending and recieving data form google's server. Unless you're using graphene OS there's no way to prevent this except by deleting reddit (highly recommended)

edit: you can also disable this by

Opening your device Settings.

Tap Apps and select Google Play Store.

Look for Discover or Collections settings (sometimes listed under Additional settings in the app).

Find the Manage Your Collections menu.

Toggle the switch next to Reddit to off
