This setting disables Claude Code telemetry collection with a single environment variable.
With it, usage data is no longer sent during your sessions.
It’s a simple, direct way to cut down on information leaving your machine.
When to use
- When your internal policy asks for minimal data collection.
- In sensitive or offline-first environments.
- When you’d rather not share usage metrics.
How to use
Apply the setting; for a fuller lockdown, combine it with the privacy-focused profile.
