Privacy

AppKit sends a small amount of anonymized usage telemetry to Databricks so the team can understand how the SDK is used and prioritize improvements. This page documents exactly what is sent, when, and how to turn it off.

What we collect

Every event is a single record with three top-level fields:

Field	Type	Source
event_name	enum	One of APP_STARTUP, HEARTBEAT, REQUEST_METRICS
app_id	string	The app's OAuth client UUID (DATABRICKS_CLIENT_ID)
appkit_version	string	The AppKit SDK version

Each event also carries one of three event-specific bodies:

• APP_STARTUP — emitted once when createApp finishes booting. Empty body.
• HEARTBEAT — emitted every five minutes from a running app. Empty body.
• REQUEST_METRICS — emitted once per minute, one record per HTTP endpoint that received traffic in the window. Each record contains:
  • endpoint — the route template (e.g. GET /api/genie/:space_id/messages), never the raw request URL or any user-provided values.
  • request_count
  • request_latency_ms_avg
  • response_count_http4xx
  • response_count_http5xx

How to opt out

Set any one of the following:

DISABLE_APPKIT_INTERNAL_TELEMETRY=true
DO_NOT_TRACK=1

Either fully disables the reporter — no events are emitted and no network calls are made.
