# Opt out of data sharing in the IDE and command line This page explains how to opt out of sharing your data in the IDE or command line where you use Amazon Q, including third-party IDEs and AWS coding environments. For information on how Amazon Q uses this data, see [Amazon Q Developer service improvement](service-improvement.md). ## Opting out of sharing your client-side telemetry Your client-side telemetry quantifies your usage of the service. For example, AWS may track whether you accept or reject a recommendation. Your client-side telemetry does not contain actual code. ### Telemetry collected in IDEs To learn more about the telemetry data collected by Amazon Q in the IDE, see the [commonDefinitions.json](https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-common/blob/main/telemetry/definitions/commonDefinitions.json) document in the `aws-toolkit-common` Github repository. For detailed information about the telemetry data collected by each IDE where you use Amazon Q, reference the resource documents in the following GitHub repositories: + [Amazon Q extension for VS Code](https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-vscode/blob/master/packages/core/src/shared/telemetry/vscodeTelemetry.json) + [Amazon Q plugin for JetBrains](https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-jetbrains/blob/main/plugins/core/jetbrains-community/resources/telemetryOverride.json) + [Amazon Q plugin for Eclipse](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-eclipse/blob/main/plugin/codegen-resources/definitions/commonDefinitions.json) + [AWS Visual Studio Toolkit with Amazon Q](https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-visual-studio/blob/main/Telemetry/vs-telemetry-definitions.json) ### Telemetry collected in the Q CLI To learn more about the telemetry data collected by the Q CLI, see the [telemetry\$1definitions.json](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/blob/main/crates/chat-cli/telemetry_definitions.json) document in the `amazon-q-developer-cli` Github repository. ### Telemetry collected in the command line tool for transformations Telemetry collection helps AWS understand how the Q command line transformation tool is performing, learn how features are used, and improve our services. For transformations on the command line, we collect telemetry on your tool version and Maven plugin version. **Note** Don’t add personally identifiable information (PII) or other confidential or sensitive information in free text fields. Choose your IDE for instructions on opting out of sharing your client-side telemetry. ------ #### [ Visual Studio Code ] To opt out of sharing your telemetry data in VS Code, use this procedure: 1.
