# Telemetry
|
|
|
|
Coder collects telemetry data from all free installations. Our users have the
|
|
right to know what we collect, why we collect it, and how we use the data.
|
|
|
|
## What we collect
|
|
|
|
First of all, we do not collect any information that could threaten the security
|
|
of your installation. For example, we do not collect parameters, environment
|
|
variables, or passwords.
|
|
|
|
You can find a full list of the data we collect in the source code
|
|
[here](https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/main/coderd/telemetry/telemetry.go).
|
|
|
|
Telemetry can be configured with the `CODER_TELEMETRY=x` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
For example, telemetry can be disabled with `CODER_TELEMETRY=false`.
|
|
|
|
`CODER_TELEMETRY=true` is our default level. It includes user email and IP
|
|
addresses. This information is used in aggregate to understand where our users
|
|
are and general demographic information. We may reach out to the deployment
|
|
admin, but will never use these emails for outbound marketing.
|
|
|
|
`CODER_TELEMETRY=false` disables telemetry altogether.
|
|
|
|
## How we use telemetry
|
|
|
|
We use telemetry to build product better and faster. Without telemetry, we don't
|
|
know which features are most useful, we don't know where users are dropping off
|
|
in our funnel, and we don't know if our roadmap is aligned with the demographics
|
|
that really use Coder.
|
|
|
|
Typical SaaS companies collect far more than what we do with little transparency
|
|
and configurability. It's hard to imagine our favorite products today existing
|
|
without their backers having good intelligence.
|
|
|
|
We've decided the only way we can make our product open-source _and_ build at a
|
|
fast pace is by collecting usage data as well.
