GigHive Installation Telemetry

GigHive sends a small amount of installation telemetry so the project can understand how often installs are started and completed. This helps answer questions like:

• did an install start and later finish successfully?
• are some installs being retried multiple times?
• do repeated retries cluster by version, install channel, method, or country?

What GigHive sends

• install_attempt and install_success events
• app version
• install channel
• install method
• app flavor
• timestamp
• a random install ID

What GigHive does not send

• media files
• uploaded content
• database contents
• user IP
• user passwords
• region, state, or city
• precise location

Location data

• GigHive derives only country_code on the telemetry server side
• GigHive does not collect any location information below country, like region/state/city/address

Opt out

• Installation telemetry can be disabled before install in both the full-build setup flow and the quickstart setup flow

Behavior

• Telemetry is best-effort only
• If telemetry fails, installation continues normally
