\title Managing Data Collection Settings
\if defined (qtcreator)
When you install \QC as a part of Qt installation, you are asked whether
you allow it to collect pseudonymous information about your system and \QC
use. If you decline, the plugin is not installed and no analytics data is
collected.
If you accept, all collected and transmitted data is fully transparent to
you. You can change the settings for collecting and transmitting data any
time. By default, no data is collected and you have to select a telemetry
mode for data collection to begin.
\else
To enable the use of the telemetry plugin, you need to select \uicontrol
{Enable Usage Statistics} in the splash screen that appears when you first
launch \QDS. If the splash screen does not appear, you can enable the
telemetry plugin by selecting \uicontrol Help > \uicontrol {About Plugins} >
\uicontrol Utilities > \uicontrol UsageStatistic.

\section1 Principles of Data Collection
No personal data, such as names, IP addresses, MAC addresses, or project
and path names are collected. However, QUuid objects are used to identify
data records that belong to one user. The objects cannot be converted
back to the actual values from which they were generated.
For more information about Qt privacy policy, select
\l{https://www.qt.io/terms-conditions/#privacy}
{Legal Notice and Privacy Policy}.
\section1 Collecting Usage Statistics
The telemetry plugin uses the
\l{https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kuserfeedback/html/index.html}
{KUserFeedback} framework to collect the usage data. The library
has been designed from the user data privacy point of view and
\QC respects the same privacy rules.
The data is transmitted to the backend storage using an encrypted
connection. The storage is located in the same Heroku backend as the
Qt installer backend. Physically, data is stored in the Amazon cloud.
\section2 Specifying Telemetry Settings
To determine what data is transmitted to the backend storage:
\list 1
\li Select \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options > \uicontrol Telemetry
> \uicontrol {Usage Statistics}.
\image qtcreator-telemetry-settings.png "Telemetry settings"
\li In the \uicontrol {Telemetry mode} list, select the mode that
determines what kind of data is collected.
\li In the \uicontrol {Data sources} list, select entries to view
exactly what data is collected. Deselect check boxes for data
that you do not want to transmit to the backend storage.
\endlist
\if defined(qtdesignstudio)
\section1 Reporting Crashes
You can enable \QDS to report crashes automatically. \QDS uses Google
Crashpad to collect crashes and report them to the Sentry backend storage
for processing. The purpose of Crashpad is to capture application state in
sufficient detail to allow developers to diagnose and, where possible, fix
the issue causing the crash. Crashpad may capture arbitrary contents from
the memory of a crashed process, including user sensitive information, URLs,
and other content provided by the users. The collected reports are used for
the sole purpose of fixing bugs. For more information on Crashpad, see the
\l {https://chromium.googlesource.com/crashpad/crashpad/+/master/doc/overview_design.md}
{documentation} by Google. For more information on processing and storing
of the collected data, see \l {https://sentry.io/security/}
{Security & Compliance} by Sentry.
To enable sending crash reports, select \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol
Options > \uicontrol Environment > \uicontrol System
(\uicontrol {Qt Design Studio} > \uicontrol Preferences > \uicontrol
Environment > \uicontrol System on \macos), and then select
\uicontrol {Enable crash reporting}.
Since crash reports take up disk space, you may wish to remove them when
they are no longer needed. Select \uicontrol {Clear local crash reports} to
remove the crash report data.
