The bim-cli program itself collects no personal data and sends nothing over the network by default. All files it reads and writes stay on your machine. The only exception is when you explicitly ask a driver to call an external service — for example, a flood zone lookup calls a FEMA API, or a Google Sheets push calls Google using your OAuth token. Those calls go directly from your machine to the service; nothing passes through Small Tiger Group infrastructure.
When bim-cli encounters a verb or flag it doesn't recognize, it writes a record to %LOCALAPPDATA%\bim-cli\logs\unknowns.jsonl on your machine. This file contains the unrecognized command name only — no argument values, no file paths, no personal data. The file is local and is never uploaded.
Opt-in usage telemetry is planned but not yet active. When it ships, it will be opt-in only, enabled by setting BIM_TELEMETRY=1. The schema will be limited to: bim version, OS version, command category (e.g. "revit"), and outcome (ok or error kind). No command arguments, file paths, or user-identifying information will be collected. DO_NOT_TRACK=true will always override telemetry regardless of other settings.
