Redgate products can automatically send anonymous information about the features you use to Redgate. This information helps Redgate improve the reliability and performance of our products and decide which new features to add and bug fixes to prioritize.

When you use a Redgate product for the first time, you are given the option to participate in the quality improvement program. If you choose not to participate, no usage data back to Redgate.

For more information about the types of data collected by the quality improvement program, see Data collected by the Quality Improvement Program.
