VMware's Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) and the Pivotal Telemetry Program (Telemetry) provides VMware and Pivotal with information that enables the companies to improve their
products and services, fix problems, and advise you on how best to deploy and use our products.
As part of the CEIP and Telemetry, VMware and Pivotal collect technical information about your
organization's use of the Pivotal Container Service ("PKS") on a regular basis.
Since PKS is jointly developed and sold by VMware and Pivotal, we will share this information with one
another.
Information collected under CEIP or Telemetry does not personally identify any individual.

Regardless of your selection in the **Usage Data** pane, a small amount of data is sent from Cloud Foundry Container Runtime (CFCR) to the PKS tile. However, that data is not shared externally. 

To configure the **Usage Data** pane, perform the following steps:

1. Select the **Usage Data** side-tab.
1. Read the Usage Data description.
1. Make your selection.
  1. To join the program, select **Yes, I want to join the CEIP and Telemetry Program for PKS**.
  1. To decline joining the program, select **No, I do not want to join the CEIP and Telemetry Program for PKS**.
1. Click **Save**.

<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> If you join the CEIP and Telemetry Program for PKS, open your firewall to allow outgoing access to <code>https://vcsa.vmware.com/ph-prd</code> on port <code>443</code>.
