| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Why Collect Anonymous Usage Metrics? |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +We understand the importance of privacy and are committed to safeguarding the data of our users. Collecting |
| 15 | +anonymous usage metrics can provide invaluable insights into how our CLI tool is being utilized, allowing us to improve |
| 16 | +its performance, reliability, and user experience. Here's why we collect anonymous usage metrics: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +1. **Improving User Experience**: By understanding how our CLI tool is used in real-world scenarios, we can identify |
| 19 | + areas for improvement and prioritize features that will enhance the overall user experience. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +2. **Bug Identification and Resolution**: Anonymous usage metrics help us identify and prioritize bugs and issues that |
| 22 | + may not be immediately apparent. This allows us to provide quicker resolutions and ensure a smoother user experience. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +3. **Feature Prioritization**: Knowing which features are used most frequently helps us prioritize development efforts |
| 25 | + and allocate resources effectively to meet the needs of our users. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## What We Collect |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +We do **not** collect **any** personal information. We do not collect file names, GitHub repositories, or anything |
| 30 | +that is potentially sensitive. We do not even try to collect and sanitize this data, we simply do not collect it. |
| 31 | +Here is what we do collect, anonymously: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +1. **Command Usage**: We collect information about the commands that are executed using our CLI tool. This includes |
| 34 | + the type of command and options used. For example, we may report that `pop new parachain` was executed with the Pop |
| 35 | + Standard template. |
| 36 | +2. **CLI Usage**: We collect information about how often the CLI tool is used. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +## Our Commitment to Privacy |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +We take privacy seriously and are committed to protecting the anonymity of our users. Here's how we ensure your privacy: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +- **Anonymous Data Collection**: We only collect anonymized usage metrics, which do not contain any personally |
| 43 | + identifiable information. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +- **Transparency**: We are transparent about the data we collect and how it is used. Some portions of the data will be |
| 46 | + made public, |
| 47 | + such as the number of times a command was executed, and total number of users. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +- **Privacy-First Platform**: We use Umami, a privacy-focused and open-source analytics platform, to collect anonymous |
| 50 | + usage metrics. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +- **EU and GDPR Compliance**: We self-host Umami in the EU to ensure compliance with the General Data Protection |
| 53 | + Regulation (GDPR) and safeguard the data of our users. This ensures there is no 3rd party involved in the data. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +## How to Opt-Out |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +If you prefer not to participate in anonymous usage metrics collection, you can completely disable telemetry by |
| 58 | +installing Pop CLI with it disabled. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +```bash |
| 61 | +cargo install --locked --no-default-features --features contract,parachain --git "https://github.com/r0gue-io/pop-cli" |
| 62 | +``` |
