## Overview

Browser Use collects anonymous usage data to help us understand how the library is being used and to improve the user experience. It also helps us fix bugs faster and prioritize feature development.

## Data Collection

We use [PostHog](https://posthog.com) for telemetry collection. The data is completely anonymized and contains no personally identifiable information.

<Note>
  We never collect personal information, credentials, or specific content from
  your browser automation tasks.
</Note>

## Opting Out

You can disable telemetry by setting an environment variable:

```bash .env
ANONYMIZED_TELEMETRY=false
```

Or in your Python code:

```python
import os
os.environ["ANONYMIZED_TELEMETRY"] = "false"
```

<Note>
  Even when enabled, telemetry has zero impact on the library's performance or
  functionality. Code is available in [Telemetry
  Service](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/tree/main/browser_use/telemetry).
