# Red Hat Commons

Red Hat Commons provides services common to extensions published by Red Hat. It's an extension library that has no use being installed on its own.

## Telemetry reporting

With your approval, extensions published by Red Hat collect anonymous [usage data](https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-commons/blob/master/USAGE_DATA.md) and send it to Red Hat servers to help improve our products and services. Read our [privacy statement](https://developers.redhat.com/article/tool-data-collection) to learn more about it.

The first time one of Red Hat extension engaging in telemetry collection runs, you will be asked to opt-in Red Hat's telemetry collection program:

![Opt-in request](images/optin-request.png)

Whether you accept or deny the request, this pop up will not show again.

You can also opt-in later, by setting the `redhat.telemetry.enabled` user setting to `true`.

From File > Preferences > Settings (On macOS: Code > Preferences > Settings), search for telemetry, and check the `Redhat > Telemetry : Enabled` setting. This will enable all telemetry events from Red Hat extensions going forward.

## How to disable telemetry reporting?

If you want to stop sending usage data to Red Hat, you can set the `redhat.telemetry.enabled` user setting to `false`.

From File > Preferences > Settings (On macOS: Code > Preferences > Settings), search for telemetry, and uncheck the `Redhat > Telemetry : Enabled` setting. This will silence all telemetry events from Red Hat extensions going forward.
