## Data Collection
267
+
268
+
During installation and setup, Desktop Commander collects anonymous usage data to help improve the tool. This includes:
269
+
- Operating system information
270
+
- Node.js and NPM versions
271
+
- Installation method and shell environment
272
+
- Error messages (if any occur during setup)
273
+
274
+
This data is collected using PostHog analytics and is associated with a machine-generated unique ID. No personal information is collected. This helps us understand how the tool is being used and identify common issues.
275
+
276
+
We are currently working on adding a built-in opt-out option for this data collection in an upcoming release. For now, if you wish to opt out, you can block network connections to `eu.i.posthog.com` in your firewall settings.
