 We use PostHog, an open-source analytics platform, for data collection and analysis. Our telemetry implementation is fully transparent - you can review the [source code](https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/main/src/services/posthog/telemetry/TelemetryService.ts) to see exactly what we track.
 
 ### Tracking Policy
 
-Privacy is our priority. All collected data is anonymized before being sent to PostHog, with no personally identifiable information (PII) included. Your code, prompts, and conversation content always remain private and are never collected.
