Azure Data Studio lets you add features to the product by installing Microsoft and third-party extensions. These extensions may be collecting their own usage data and are not controlled by the `telemetry.enableTelemetry` setting. Consult the specific extension's documentation to learn about its telemetry reporting and whether it can be disabled.

One question we expect people to ask is to see the data we collect. However, we don't have a reliable way to do this as Azure Data Studio doesn't have a *sign-in* experience that uniquely identifies a user. We send information that helps us approximate a single user for diagnostic purposes (this is based on a hash of the network adapter NIC), but this isn't guaranteed to be unique. For example, virtual machines (VMs) often rotate NIC IDs or allocate from a pool. This technique is sufficient to help us when working through problems, but it's not reliable enough for us to 'provide your data'.
