# OpenVINO™ Telemetry {#openvino_docs_telemetry_information}

@sphinxdirective

To facilitate debugging and further development, OpenVINO™ asks its users for 
a permission to collect telemetry data. It will not be collected 
without an explicit consent on your part and will cover only OpenVINO™ usage information.
It does not extend to any other Intel software, hardware, website usage, or other products. 

Google Analytics is used for telemetry purposes. Refer to 
`Google Analytics support <https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245#zippy=%2Cour-privacy-policy%2Cgoogle-analytics-cookies-and-identifiers%2Cdata-collected-by-google-analytics%2Cwhat-is-the-data-used-for%2Cdata-access>`__ to understand how the data is collected and processed.

First-run consent
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On the first run of an application that collects telemetry data, you will be prompted 
to opt in or out of telemetry collection with the following telemetry message: 

.. code-block:: console

   Intel would like your permission to collect software performance and usage data
   for the purpose of improving Intel products and services. This data will be collected
   directly by Intel or through the use of Google Analytics. This data will be stored 
   in countries where Intel or Google operate.

   You can opt-out at any time in the future by running ``opt_in_out --opt_in``.
   
   More Information is available at docs.openvino.ai.

   Please type ``Y`` to give your consent or ``N`` to decline.

Choose your preference by typing ``Y`` to enable or ``N`` to disable telemetry. Your choice will 
be confirmed by a corresponding disclaimer. If you do not reply to the telemetry message, 
your telemetry data will not be collected. 

For the Neural Network Compression Framework (NNCF), which is not a command line application, 
the telemetry message will not display. Telemetry data will only be collected from NNCF 
if you have explicitly provided consent in another OpenVINO tool.


Changing consent decision
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You can change your data collection decision with the following command lines: 

``opt_in_out --opt_in`` - enable telemetry

``opt_in_out --opt_out`` - disable telemetry
