| 3 | +--- |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Overview |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +BetterVim provides an opt-in feature for collecting anonymous analytics data, which helps us improve the quality of our plugins and your overall experience. We use [PostHog](https://posthog.com) as our analytics platform to gather insights into how BetterVim is used, which enables us to make data-driven decisions. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Why We Collect Data |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +The purpose of collecting analytics data is to better understand how our users interact with BetterVim. This information allows us to: |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +- Identify which features are most popular. |
| 14 | +- Ensure new updates improve usability and performance. |
| 15 | +- Make informed decisions when prioritizing enhancements and new features. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +By opting in, you help us improve the product effectively based on actual usage patterns. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## What We Collect |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +We take privacy seriously. All data collected is anonymized and only relates to your usage of BetterVim. Here’s what we collect: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +- **Plugin Events**: Information about how and when you use BetterVim plugins. |
| 24 | +- **Configuration Details**: General details of your Neovim configuration that are relevant to understanding compatibility and usage. For example: |
| 25 | + - Which features are enabled or disabled. |
| 26 | + - Information related to BetterVim themes (e.g., if `yugen.nvim` is in use). |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### What We Don't Collect |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +- **Personal Information**: We do not collect your name, email, or any personally identifiable information. |
| 31 | +- **Sensitive Data**: We only collect information related to your Neovim configuration, and nothing more. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +The data we collect is tied to a unique license identifier, which does not reveal any personal information. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## How to Review the Implementation |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +We believe in transparency, and we encourage users to verify what’s being collected. You can check the analytics implementation directly in your local Neovim configuration. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +To do so, navigate to the following file in your Neovim config: |
| 40 | +```sh |
| 41 | +nvim ~/.config/nvim/lua/better-vim-core/tasks/analytics.lua |
| 42 | +``` |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +This file contains the code responsible for sending analytics events to our API. You can inspect the exact data being sent, how it is anonymized, and how it is processed. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns—your trust is important to us, and we are committed to maintaining it. |
