# Telemetry

## How telemetry is used

The Feast maintainers use anonymous usage statistics to help shape the Feast roadmap. Several client methods are tracked, beginning in Feast 0.9. Users are assigned a UUID which is sent along with the name of the method, the Feast version, the OS \(using `sys.platform`\), and the current time. For more detailed information see [the source code](https://github.com/feast-dev/feast/blob/master/sdk/python/feast/telemetry.py).

## How to disable telemetry

To opt out of telemetry, simply set the environment variable `FEAST_TELEMETRY` to `False` in the environment in which the Feast client is run.
