ServiceNow Extensions for VS Code collects
information on its various usage patterns such as the commands run with the help of Now
Telemetry.  
Now Telemetry helps in the following

* Debug issues
* Analyse most used functions or features
* Capture user actions
* Improve the extension

{#telemtry-vscode__ul_ipx_hlp_hlb}  
Note:  
Telemetry collects anonymous information related to usage and does not capture any personal information such as name and email ID of the users. Data is accessible to ServiceNow only and is not shared with anyone
Telemetry is enabled by default for the ServiceNow extension. If you do not wish to send usage data, you can set the `now.telemetry.enableTelemetry` user setting to false. Alternatively, select File (Windows) or Code (Mac) and navigate to PreferencesSettingsExtensionsNow and clear Now Telemetry check box to disable the feature.
Figure 1. Settings for Telemetry  
Note:  
The usage data will be sent until you disable the setting. The extension abides by the global telemetry setting `telemetry.enableTelemetry`. If that is set to false, Now telemetry is disabled.
