Cline includes telemetry to help understand usage patterns and improve the product. Users can control whether to share this data.

## What is Cline Telemetry?
|
|
|
|
Telemetry captures anonymous usage events such as:

|
|
- Task completion rates
|
|
- Error occurrences
|
|
- Performance metrics
|
|
|
|
<Info>
|
|
All telemetry data is **anonymous** and does not include code content, file contents, or other sensitive information.
