Can you provide some insight onto what 'telemetry data' is being collected and what the data is being used for?

Edit: I don't think telemetry is always bad. Obfuscated telemetry tells me you're potentially collecting stuff that you don't want me to know about, but things like clicks, mouse-movements, etc. are important for understanding how users use a service and not inherently bad.



Hello - what we currently collect is here - https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/feature-instrument... and we of course will update that in the future to reflect the details of any telemetry we use - however as noted the team is circling back to evaluate all the feedback and concerns before considering how to improve our existing telemetry (which was the goal).


Thanks, we'll make sure to detail what data is collected when we rethrought our plans.
