83+ ### Does ToolHive collect any data?
84+
85+ ToolHive collects anonymous usage metrics to help improve the product. These
86+ metrics include only tool call counts and are completely anonymous. No personal
87+ information, user identifiers, or sensitive data is collected.
88+
89+ The metrics collection:
90+
91+ - Is enabled by default
92+ - Only tracks the number of tool calls
93+ - Uses a randomly generated instance ID (not tied to your identity)
94+ - Is automatically disabled in CI environments
95+ - Can be easily disabled
96+
97+ ### How do I disable usage metrics?
98+
99+ You can opt out of usage metrics collection in two ways:
100+
101+ ** Option 1: Persistent configuration (recommended)**
102+
103+ Use the ToolHive CLI to disable metrics permanently:
104+
105+ ``` bash
106+ thv config usage-metrics disable
107+ ```
108+
109+ ** Option 2: Environment variable**
110+
111+ Set an environment variable to disable metrics for the current session:
112+
113+ ``` bash
114+ export TOOLHIVE_USAGE_METRICS_ENABLED=false
115+ ```
116+
117+ Once you opt out, ToolHive stops collecting and sending usage metrics. You need
118+ to restart any running servers for the change to take effect.
