+## Data Collection
+
+During installation and setup, Desktop Commander collects anonymous usage data to help improve the tool. This includes:
+- Operating system information
+- Node.js and NPM versions
+- Installation method and shell environment
+- Error messages (if any occur during setup)
+
+This data is collected using PostHog analytics and is associated with a machine-generated unique ID. No personal information is collected. This helps us understand how the tool is being used and identify common issues.
+
+We are currently working on adding a built-in opt-out option for this data collection in an upcoming release. For now, if you wish to opt out, you can block network connections to `eu.i.posthog.com` in your firewall settings.
