User Statistics

The data we collect is limited to:

  • The Ploomber version currently running.

  • A generated UUID, randomized when the initial install takes place, no personal or any identifiable information.

  • Environment variables: The OS architecture Ploomber is used in (Python version etc.)

  • Information about the different product phases: installation, API calls and errors.

  • For users who explicitly stated their email, we collect an email address.

How to opt-out

As an open source project, we collect anonymous usage statistics to prioritize and find product gaps. This is optional and may be turned off either by:

  1. Modify the configuration file ~/.ploomber/stats/config.yaml:

  • Change stats_enabled to false.

  1. Set the environment variable:

export PLOOMBER_STATS_ENABLED=false

Version updates

If there’s an outdated version, ploomber will alert it through the console every second day in a non-invasive way. You can stop this checks for instance if you’re running in production and you’ve locked versions. The check can be turned off either by:

  1. Modify the configuration file ~/.ploomber/stats/config.yaml:

  • Change version_check_enabled to false.

  1. Set the environment variable:

export PLOOMBER_VERSION_CHECK_DISABLED=false
