-## Telemetry
-
-Every install sends one anonymous ping a day: an anonymous install id, the
-ManifoldBT version, your OS, CPU architecture, whether it is a CUDA build, your
-Python major version, and Community or Pro. No email, no license key, no
-strategy, no data, no results. It tells us which versions and platforms are
-still in use, so we know what we can stop supporting.
-
-Turn it off with either of:
-
-```bash
-export MANIFOLDBT_NO_TELEMETRY=1
-export DO_NOT_TRACK=1
-```
-
-CI runners are skipped automatically. Pro license validation is a separate
-mechanism and is not affected by these variables.
