[Privacy & Documentation] Disable Telemetry by Default and Clarify in Docs

[IshiKura-a]

Telemetry is currently enabled by default, which may not align with user expectations around privacy — particularly in research, enterprise, or production environments.

🔒Suggestion: Require Explicit Opt-in for Telemetry

1. List all categories of telemetry data currently gathered and how they are collected.
2. As discussed in #2683, it would be more privacy-conscious to disable telemetry unless the user explicitly enables it.
3. Currently, telemetry is only mentioned briefly in faqs.mdx. For improved clarity and user trust, please consider:- Creating a dedicated “Telemetry & Privacy” section

• And clearly stating:
  • What data is collected
  • How it is used
  • How to disable telemetry
  • Providing explicit examples (e.g., environment variable or code snippet)

This would help ensure transparency and respect for user consent.

exactly right.

Agreed. I was really surprised to see that it was on by default.

Thanks for raising this. Telemetry is enabled by default and is anonymous—we don’t collect prompts, memory contents, or any personal user data. It’s only used for high-level usage metrics to help improve the project.

If you prefer, telemetry can be disabled via the MEM0_TELEMETRY=false setting. We’ll also tighten up the docs to clearly list what’s collected and what’s never collected. Closing for now—happy to reopen if needed.
