Telemetry

Tinyauth includes a heartbeat feature that send anonymous version information to get some insights on the usage of Tinyauth. The collected information includes:

Tinyauth version
Instance UUID (generated with UUID v4 from the app URL)
Time of the request

The UUID generated from the app URL is an irreversible hash and cannot be used to identify the instance.

The data is sent to https://api.tinyauth.app/v1/instances/hearbeat every 12 hours. No personal, sensitive or identifiable information is collected. The heartbeat can be disabled with:

Environment	CLI Flag	Default
`DISABLE_ANALYTICS`	`--disable-analytics`	`false`

Your IP address may be stored in an in-memory cache for a short period to prevent abuse of the API server.

The telemetry server source is available on GitHub licensed under the MIT license.
