Any data collected by Netdata are collected and used for operational purposes and will not be sold or shared. Further,  
metrics data are only streamed to Cloud, only on demand (when a user is viewing a chart or dashboard), and never saved.  
Some operational Cloud metadata (such as dashboard configurations or chart configuration) are saved for operational  
purposes

We have documented in great detail [what information we  
gather](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/aclk#data-privacy) from Netdata Agents, either from telemetry for product  
development or for advanced functionality in Netdata Cloud.
