 - **On first run,** gstack asks if you want to share anonymous usage data. You can say no.
 - **What's sent (if you opt in):** skill name, duration, success/fail, gstack version, OS. That's it.
 - **What's never sent:** code, file paths, repo names, branch names, prompts, or any user-generated content.
- **Change anytime:** `gstack-config set telemetry off` disables everything instantly.
+- **Change anytime:** `gstack-config set telemetry off` disables remote telemetry plus local analytics and session-tracking artifacts instantly.

 Data is stored in [Supabase](https://supabase.com) (open source Firebase alternative). The schema is in [`supabase/migrations/`](supabase/migrations/) — you can verify exactly what's collected. The Supabase publishable key in the repo is a public key (like a Firebase API key) — row-level security policies deny all direct access. Telemetry flows through validated edge functions that enforce schema checks, event type allowlists, and field length limits.

-**Local analytics are always available.** Run `gstack-analytics` to see your personal usage dashboard from the local JSONL file — no remote data needed.
+**Local analytics are available when telemetry is enabled.** Run `gstack-analytics` to see your personal usage dashboard from the local JSONL file — no remote data needed.
