By default, Sourcebot collects anonymized usage data through PostHog to help us improve the performance and reliability of our tool. We don’t collect or transmit any information related to your codebase. In addition, all events are sanitized to ensure that no sensitive details (ex. ip address, query info) leave your machine. The data we collect includes general usage statistics and metadata such as query performance (e.g., search duration, error rates) to monitor the application’s health and functionality. This information helps us better understand how Sourcebot is used and where improvements can be made. If you’d like to disable all telemetry, you can do so by setting the environment variable SOURCEBOT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED to true: 
docker run \
  -e SOURCEBOT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=true \
  /* additional args */ \
  ghcr.io/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot:latest
If you disabled telemetry correctly, you’ll see the following log when starting Sourcebot: 
Disabling telemetry since SOURCEBOT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED was set.
