Disable Gradio Telemetry

#39
ggml.ai org

Hi @keepsitreal - what's the reason behind this PR?

Im sorry? Its in the name

ggml.ai org

Since this works on the Spaces hardware and doesn't collect any user info. I'd like to keep this so that the gradio team can have better analytics.

Closing this PR.

I agree with @Superintendent here, I thought most of us agree that the user's privacy is important?

@reach-vb could you please provide a link to where gradio states that they don't collect user info?

Hey @ooooh-nooooo - Thanks for opening up the discussion!

I'm copying the response I got from the Gradio team cc: @freddyaboulton

Gradio collects two kinds of telemetry data:
Initiated analytics - called when Blocks/Interface is initiated and tracks the gradio version used, and whether this is a blocks, interface, chatinterface, etc app
Launched analytics - called when the app is launched and tracks the blocks used in the demo (e.g. "textbox", "dropdown"), whether it's running on colab, wasm, spaces, kaggle, and whether custom components are being used

In both, we send over the server's IP to count unique users, but in this case, users are Gradio developers, not end users of the UI.

We don't have a dedicated page for this. However, given the community is leaning towards this, I'd go ahead and merge this 🤗
