The CloudBees Analytics Plugin collects telemetry and metrics for analysis to help CloudBees make decisions about future product enhancements. The collected data is used to evaluate patterns of usage of our products.
| Data collection is enabled by default, but you can disable it at any time. For CloudBees CI, refer to Enable or disable data collection for the CloudBees Analytics Plugin to disable it. |
CloudBees takes data privacy very seriously. Here’s how CloudBees ensures privacy while delivering value:
-
Anonymization: Identifying data such as names, job names, URLs, and instance IDs are anonymized.
-
Event data: Telemetry data includes aggregated metrics (for example, the number of job runs and feature usage) and is associated at the organization level, not individual users.
-
Insights without individual inspection: Recommendations are based on anonymized patterns. For example, CloudBees knows that builds are being run, but not who ran them. Similarly, CloudBees knows Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is in use, but does not track specific permissions or access.
CloudBees does not inspect analytics/telemetry data at an individual level. Instead, our focus is on organization-wide trends to provide actionable insights.
