Telemetry

Alchemy collects anonymous usage telemetry to help us understand how the tool is being used and improve the developer experience.

What Data Is Collected

We collect basic usage information including:

• Application and resource deployment events
• Performance metrics (timing information)
• Error information (with sensitive data redacted)
• System information (OS, runtime version)
• Anonymous identifiers (no personal information)

Privacy

We prioritize your privacy:

• No personal information is collected
• All data is anonymized
• Sensitive information is automatically redacted from error reports

How to Opt Out

You can disable telemetry collection using environment variables:

Option 1: Alchemy-specific

export ALCHEMY_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1

Option 2: Universal Do Not Track

export DO_NOT_TRACK=1

To permanently disable telemetry, add either variable to your shell profile:

# In ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or equivalent
echo 'export ALCHEMY_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1' >> ~/.bashrc

This data helps us prioritize features, fix bugs, and improve performance. The data is processed securely and is not shared with third parties.
