Telemetry

Varlock collects anonymous usage statistics to help us understand how the tool is being used and improve the product. This data is completely anonymous and is only used to make varlock better.

What We Collect

We collect anonymous information about:

• Which commands are being used
• Basic command execution statistics
• No personal or sensitive data is ever collected

How to Opt Out

You can opt out of analytics in two ways:

Using the CLI

Run the following command to permanently opt out:

varlock opt-out

This will create a configuration file at ~/.varlock/config.json with the opt-out setting.

Using an Environment Variable

You can also opt out temporarily by setting the PH_OPT_OUT environment variable:

export PH_OPT_OUT=true

This will disable analytics for the current session only, which is useful in CI/CD pipelines.
