Questions about Xiaomi Smart Band 9

You can refuse access to just about everything, either via the app or via Android. A Xiaomi account is required, but it is possible to refuse to synchronise data via the app. Access for the camera is just for triggering photos by the watch, there is no access to files (except for audio files if authorised, only for playback commands by the watch).

The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 can also be used without a smartphone. It can count steps, measure heart rate and oxygen saturation and monitor sleep without the need for a smartphone. However, it only offers the full range of functions, including the display of notifications and detailed data analysis, in conjunction with an Android or iOS smartphone and the Mi Fitness app.

Yes, the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 can record sleep. It offers extensive sleep tracking functions, including measurement of total sleep time, individual sleep phases (light, deep and REM) and average heart rate and oxygen saturation levels during sleep.
