# Anonymous Telemetry

What data do we collect and why?

By default, anonymous telemetry is sent to us every time you save the UmbCheckout configuration and after a remote license check has been completed. It is sent in the background, with a 5 second time limit, so it never slows the site or the license check down. Nothing is sent if the site has no Umbraco global ID (`Umbraco:CMS:Global:Id`).

#### Why do we collect this data?

It is so that we concentrate our development in the most used areas, it also lets us have a rough idea on how many sites are using our package

**What data is collected?**

We collect the following data:

| Key                  | Value                                                                         |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| umbracoId            | The Umbraco Guid for the site                                                 |
| umbracoVersion       | The Umbraco version                                                           |
| umbCheckoutVersion   | The UmbCheckout version                                                       |
| isLicensed           | Whether the site is running on a paid license                                 |
| isDevelopmentLicense | Whether the site is running on a development license                          |
| environmentName      | The sites hosting environment name (Development, Staging, Production, etc...) |

*There is a unique constraint on `umbracoId` and `environmentName`*

#### Can I disable the telemetry?

Yes, you can disable the telemetry service by setting the following configuration in your appsettings.json file

```json
{
  "UmbCheckout": {
    "DisableTelemetry": true
  }
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.umbcheckout.net/v17/getting-started/anonymous-telemetry.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
