When enabled, Kubeflow will report **anonymous** usage data using [spartakus](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/spartakus), Kubernetes' reporting tool. Spartakus **does not report any personal information**. See [here](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/spartakus) for more detail.
This is entirely voluntary and you can opt
This is entirely voluntary and you can opt out by doing the following:
**Reporting usage data is one of the most significant contributions you can make to Kubeflow; so please consider turning it on.** This data
allows us to improve the project and helps the many companies working on Kubeflow justify continued investment.

You can improve the quality of the data by giving each Kubeflow deployment a unique id by editing `spartakus.yaml` in your `KF_APP` directory:
**To prevent Spartakus from being deployed,** do the following before running `kfctl apply`:
```
apiVersion: v1
data:
usageId: "your usage id"
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
labels:
kustomize.component: spartakus
name: spartakus-parameters
namespace: kubeflow
```
- Edit `${KFAPP}/app.yaml`
- Delete the entry in KfDef.Spec.Applications for spartakus
Then deploy your changes:
```
kubectl apply -f spartakus.yaml`
- kustomizeConfig:
parameters:
- initRequired: true
name: usageId
value: <randomly-generated-id>
- initRequired: true
name: reportUsage
value: "true"
repoRef:
name: manifests
path: common/spartakus
name: spartakus
```
- Delete the entry in KfDef.Spec.ComponentParams for spartakus
* initRequired: true name: usageId value:
* initRequired: true name: reportUsage value:
- Delete the entry in KfDef.Spec.Components for spartakus
