0008. Telemetry is opt-in

  • Status: Accepted
  • Date: 2026-10-27

Usage data could help improve OpenKedai, but shops handle customer and sales data covered by Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), and unexpected data collection destroys trust in open-source software.

Telemetry is off by default and only ever enabled by the owner. No data leaves a device or server unless the owner has switched that feature on.

  • Features that send data elsewhere (telemetry, update checks, cloud backups) each need an explicit, owner-controlled setting.
  • None of them may sit on the order path (see ADR 0002).
