+
+### Does ToolHive collect any data?
+
+ToolHive collects anonymous usage metrics to help improve the product. These
+metrics include only tool call counts and are completely anonymous. No personal
+information, user identifiers, or sensitive data is collected.
+
+The metrics collection:
+
+- Is enabled by default
+- Only tracks the number of tool calls
+- Uses a randomly generated instance ID (not tied to your identity)
+- Is automatically disabled in CI environments
+- Can be easily disabled
+
+### How do I disable usage metrics?
+
+You can opt out of usage metrics collection in two ways:
+
+**Option 1: Persistent configuration (recommended)**
+
+Use the ToolHive CLI to disable metrics permanently:
+
+```bash
+thv config usage-metrics disable
+```
+
+**Option 2: Environment variable**
+
+Set an environment variable to disable metrics for the current session:
+
+```bash
+export TOOLHIVE_USAGE_METRICS_ENABLED=false
+```
+
+Once you opt out, ToolHive stops collecting and sending usage metrics. You need
+to restart any running servers for the change to take effect.
