Opt-In for Telemetry data to webhooks.fivetran.com

Deployment
1

I made a streamlit app that I want to bundle and have users run locally. However, looking at the HTTP traffic streamlit by default seems to send telemetry data to webhooks.fivetran.com. I see other articles saying you can turn off the config via toml files but I want to guarantee the software doesn’t send data by default when having others spin it up.

This is mainly with regards to security concerns and I don’t understand why it wouldn’t just be off by default with users having to enable it. Are there plans to have it off by default in the future (opt-in vs opt-out) or a way to set it via something like st.set_page_config? I don’t think I could use this anymore if it just is going to be sending data to a third-party site whenever its deployed locally.

A configuration file is part of your app, so if you share your app code with others to run and include the necessary configuration file to turn off telemetry, then it will be turned off when they run the app locally.
