    Tableau Product Usage Data

    Tableau products send two categories of Usage Data to Tableau. See the information below on these categories, and how you can manage them.

    Product Usage Data

    Product Usage Data includes data about how customers are using our products, so we can understand how certain features are working, and so we can improve them in the future. If you prefer not to send Product Usage Data back to Tableau, you can opt-out during installation, at run time (requires restart), or in an organization-wide deployment:

    • Changing Product Usage Data options for Tableau Desktop
    • Changing Product Usage Data options for Tableau Server

    Basic Product Data

    Basic Product Data is information that Tableau needs to make your products run and to provide timely security updates to you. If your organization does not want to send Basic Product Data back to Tableau, you can block this at the machine or organizational level:

    • Block sending of Basic Product Data for Tableau Desktop
    • Block sending of Basic Product Data for an enterprise

    All Product Data is collected and handled according to the Tableau Privacy Statement.
