Red Hat collects and analyses the following data:

  • Events of page visits and clicks on links or buttons.
  • System-related information, for example, locale, timezone, user agent including browser and OS details.
  • Page-related information, for example, title, category, extension name, URL, path, referrer, and search parameters.
  • Anonymized IP addresses, recorded as 0.0.0.0.
  • Anonymized username hashes, which are unique identifiers used solely to identify the number of unique users of the RHDH application.
  • Feedback and sentiment submitted through the self-service automation portal feedback form, including a 1-5 star rating and feedback text. Users must acknowledge that they share the feedback with Red Hat before submitting.
Note

The feedback form is optional and disabled by default. You can enable for your users if you choose.
