<h3>Does Open Rails report data back to its creators?</h3>
<p>
Not at the moment. Data on how Open Rails is used will be very helpful for the project but, if we wish to collect usage data, we will inform you
beforehand and you will always be able to opt out.
Data on how Open Rails is used is very helpful for the project. This feature was added in v1.6 but you have to opt in.
For more detail, see the section on <a href="https://open-rails.readthedocs.io/en/unstable/options.html#telemetry" target="_blank">Telemetry</a> in the Manual.
