# Opt out of telemetry collection

> The Algolia CLI collects usage information by default. You can opt out.

By default, the Algolia CLI collects data about which commands and options you use.
To opt out, set the environment variable `ALGOLIA_CLI_TELEMETRY` to `0`.

## Collected information

The Algolia CLI collects the following information:

| Information | Description                                     |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Usage       | Which commands and sub-commands you run         |
| System      | Operating system and version of the Algolia CLI |
| Profile     | Number of profiles and the active profile       |

For more details, inspect the source code of the [`telemetry`](https://github.com/algolia/cli/blob/main/pkg/telemetry/telemetry.go) package.

## Opt out of automatic update checks

The Algolia CLI automatically checks if there is a newer version available.
To opt out, set the `ALGOLIA_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER` environment variable to any non-empty value.

<Note>
  The CLI doesn't check for updates if you run it inside a shell script or inside a continuous integration workflow.
</Note>

## Automation
