Yes, if you use Kedro and are comfortable with anonymized usage analytics being collected by default. The plugin is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and imposes low install friction. If you prefer not to participate in telemetry, disabling it is straightforward via environment variables or a configuration file. Uninstalling is a last resort since it breaks Kedro's dependency expectations.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Requires kedro to be installed.
- Uninstalling this plugin may cause pip check to report dependency issues since Kedro expects it.

What it is and what it does
Kedro-Telemetry is a Kedro plugin that automatically collects anonymized usage data from Kedro projects and sends it to Heap Analytics. It uses pluggy hooks and requests to gather information about how Kedro is used, helping the Kedro team prioritize product improvements. The plugin is enabled by default when installed.
You can disable telemetry collection in three ways: by setting the DO_NOT_TRACK or KEDRO_DISABLE_TELEMETRY environment variables, by creating a .telemetry file in your project root with consent set to false, or by using the --telemetry=no flag when creating a new Kedro project. If you later withdraw consent, data collection stops immediately. The plugin depends on appdirs, requests, tomli, and tomli-w in addition to Kedro itself.
Use it for
- Understand adoption patterns and feature usage across your organization's Kedro projects through dashboards accessible to project maintainers.
- Disable telemetry in production or sensitive environments by setting DO_NOT_TRACK or KEDRO_DISABLE_TELEMETRY environment variables.
- Opt out of data collection on a per-project basis by creating a .telemetry file with consent: false in your Kedro project root.
- Contribute to Kedro's product roadmap by allowing the team to see which features are most heavily used.
