Zed's Usage Data, Crash Reports, and User Content Handling

Usage Data is associated with a secure random telemetry ID which may be linked to Your email address. This linkage currently serves two purposes: (1) it allows Zed to analyze usage patterns over time while maintaining Your privacy; and (2) it enables Zed to reach out to specific user groups for feedback and improvement suggestions. Zed may contact You based on Your usage patterns to better understand your needs and improve the Solution. If You delete Your account, the link between Your telemetry ID and Your email address will be permanently removed. By continuing to use Editor or Solution with this feature enabled You agree to this Usage Data collection. #### 3.3.3. Crash Reports Customer Data consisting of data related to the behavior of the Solution prior to a crash or failure, such as stack traces are collected and classified as "Crash Reports". Zed will use commercially reasonable efforts to exclude any personally identifiable information from Crash Reports, but due to the nature of a crash, Zed does not ensure that information such as paths will be excluded from Crash Reports. Crash Reports will be used solely for Zed's internal purposes in connection with diagnosing defects in the Solution that led to the crash. You may grant us permission to capture Crash Reports when installing or activating the Solution, and You may change Your preferences at any time in the settings feature of the Solution. Once You grant us this permission, Zed will retain the Crash Reports indefinitely. #### 3.3.4. User Content • You may access, modify or create certain data or information in connection with your access or use of the Zed Editor or the Solution. Such data and information may include, but is not limited to any of the following: - (a) file contents and associated metadata (e.g., filename, paths, size, timestamps); - (b) source control history, comments and metadata (e.g., git history, commit messages); - (c) configuration data (e.g., settings, keymaps); - (d) anything typed, pasted and/or displayed on screen while using the Editor; - (e) derivative works of the above generated by the Editor (e.g., format conversions, summaries, indexes, caches); - (f) metadata, code and other derivative works of the above returned by language servers and other local tooling; and - (g) metadata, code and other derivative works of the above returned by services integrated with the Zed Editor (a-g collectively, "User Content"). #### 3.3.5. Handling of User Content Zed will make use of or transfer User Content only as specified in this Agreement, or as necessary to comply with applicable law. #### 3.3.5.1. Zed Collaboration Services When using Zed Collaboration Services, User Content is transmitted from Your environment only if You collaborate with other Zed users by electing to share a project in the Editor. Once You share a project, Zed may transmit User Content consisting of file paths, file contents, and metadata regarding the code returned by language servers. Currently, Zed does not persist any User Content beyond the Your collaboration session. If You unshare a project or disconnect from the Solution, all information associated with such project will be deleted from Zed servers. In the future, Zed may save User Content regarding projects beyond the scope of a single collaboration session. We may share such User Content with those users You elected to grant access to. Zed's access to such User Content is limited to debugging and making improvements to the Solution. #### 3.3.5.2. Other Services The Zed Editor supports integration with API-based services maintained and not operated by Zed (the "Other Services"). By way of example, Other Services includes those made available by GitHub, Anthropic, OpenAI, and similar providers, or those You host or manage directly. You may configure the Zed Editor to interoperate, communicate with, and exchange data (including User Content) directly with the Other Services. Zed is not responsible or otherwise liable with respect to Your use of any Other Service, including but not limited to the exchange of data between the Other Service and the Zed Editor. The terms and conditions, including the applicable privacy policy, with respect to the Other Service are those made available by the applicable Other Service, not these Terms.

This section details how Zed handles Usage Data, associating it with a telemetry ID potentially linked to the user's email for usage analysis and feedback. It explains the collection and use of Crash Reports for diagnosing defects, with attempts to exclude personal information. The document defines 'User Content' as data created or modified during the use of the Zed Editor, including file contents, source control history, and derivative works. It outlines that Zed will use or transfer User Content only as specified in the agreement or as required by law. It explains how User Content is handled during Zed Collaboration Services and the interaction with other services, emphasizing that Zed is not responsible for user's interaction with 'other services', such as Github or OpenAI.
