GitLab Introduces Telemetry Collection for Cloud and Commercial Users

GitLab, which develops the collaborative development platform of the same name, commissioned new agreement on the use of their products. All users of commercial products for enterprises (GitLab Enterprise Edition) and cloud hosting GitLab.com are asked to agree to the new terms without fail. Until the new terms are accepted, access to the web interface and the Web API will be blocked. The change takes effect from the release Git Lab 12.4.

An important change in the terms is the mention of the inclusion on the pages of cloud services and GitLab commercial products of the code for collecting telemetry. At the same time, it is determined that telemetry can be sent not only to GitLab servers, but also to third-party analytics services. This includes explicitly allowing the placement of proprietary JavaScript code for collecting telemetry received from third-party providers, such as pendo.

Enabling telemetry does not affect the repository GitLab Core and the GitLab open Community edition, cut down in functionality, designed to deploy a collaborative development infrastructure on your own equipment.
