📏 Telemetry

Chroma contains a telemetry feature that collects anonymous usage information.

Why?

We use this information to help us understand how Chroma is used, to help us prioritize work on new features and bug fixes, and to help us improve Chroma’s performance and stability.

Opting out

Set anonymized_telemetry in your clients settings to false to opt out of telemetry.

from chromadb.config import Settings
client = chromadb.Client(Settings(anonymized_telemetry=False))

What do you track?

We will only track usage details that help us make product decisions, specifically:

• Chroma version and environment
• The Collection commands add or delete. We track the anonymized uuid of a collection as well as the number of items added or deleted.

We do not collect personally-identifiable or sensitive information, such as: usernames, hostnames, file names, environment variables, or hostnames of systems being tested.
