Looking for an Android data migration tool (self.privacy)

I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?

Only if you're currently running stock android.

Yeah, running /e/ on the new phone, so it isn't an option.
