# Telemetry

We collect some high level, anonymized metadata about usage of self-hosted Khoj. This includes:
- Client (Web, Emacs, Obsidian)
- API usage (Search, Chat)
- Configured content types (Github, Org, etc)
- Request metadata (e.g., host, referrer)

We don't send any personal information or any information from/about your content. We only send the above metadata. This helps us prioritize feature development and understand how people are using Khoj. Don't just take our word for it -- you can see [the code here](https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/tree/master/src/telemetry).

## Disable Telemetry

If you're self-hosting Khoj, you can opt out of telemetry at any time. To do so,
1. Open `~/.khoj/khoj.yml`
2. Add the following configuration:
```
app:
  should-log-telemetry: false
```
3. Save the file and restart Khoj
