## Chef Workstation Telemetry
In order to continually improve Chef Workstation, we collect information to help us identify bugs and understand how people interact with Chef Workstation.

Chef Workstation collects information to help us identify bugs and how users are interacting with Chef Workstation to help us make continuous improvements.
## What We Collect

We capture:

* The Chef-specific commands you execute, **without** any of the arguments you pass.
* How you connect, either WinRM or SSH.
* A unique installation-id that isn't connected to user data. This helps us track the number of active Chef Workstation installations without needing to perform IP-based tracking.
* The Chef-specific commands you execute, but **none** of the arguments you pass.
* Your host operating system and version.
* A SHA256 sum of any hostname that you're connecting to via `chef-run`.
* How you connect to a remote host via `chef-run`, either WinRM or SSH.
* Target operating system of any hosts connected to via `chef-run`.

## How We Use Your Data

You can view the analytics we collect before it is sent. Find--and remove--your data in the `HOME/.chef-workstation/telemetry/` folder. We save the data from a current chef-run in the telemetry folder and collect it at the start of the next chef-run.
We use this data to track Chef Workstation usage patterns, identify bugs, and iterate development based real aggregated feedback.

Only Chef Software, Inc employees have access to your data. We will never sell, re-sell, or use your data in a malicious manner.

* Disable telemetry entirely by adding the following to `$HOME/.chef-workstation/config.toml`:
