Reporting status
---------------

fwupd will encourage users to report both successful and failed updates back
to LVFS. This is an optional feature, but encouraged as it provides valuable
feedback to LVFS administrators and OEM developers regarding firmware update
process efficacy.

The privacy policy regarding this data can be viewed on the [fwupd website](https://fwupd.org/privacy).

To report the status of an update run:

`# fwupdmgr report-history`

To clear the local history of updates:

`# fwupdmgr clear-history`

Only updates that were distributed from the LVFS will be reported to the LVFS.
