Summary

Updates the CLI telemetry documentation to reflect that telemetry events now include the account email address for logged-in users.

Changes

  • Removed the "anonymous" claim from the --telemetry global flag description and telemetry section in cli/commands.mdx.
  • Documented that logged-in telemetry includes the account email, logged-out usage stays anonymous, and logging out removes the stored email.
  • Applied the same updates to the Spanish, French, and Chinese translations.

Context

CLI usage telemetry now attributes events to authenticated users' emails so usage reports can identify top CLI users. The email is stored during login, signup, and token refresh, cleared on logout, and only sent when the user is logged in with telemetry enabled. Opted-out and logged-out usage remains anonymous. The docs previously stated telemetry was anonymous and collected no personally identifiable information, which is no longer accurate for logged-in users.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only privacy disclosure updates with no runtime or data-handling code changes in this PR.

Overview
Updates the CLI Telemetry docs (and the --telemetry global flag blurb) so they match behavior where logged-in CLI usage can include the account email on telemetry events.

The docs no longer describe all telemetry as anonymous or claim that no personally identifiable information is collected. They now state that logged-out usage stays anonymous, logging out clears the stored email, and Mintlify still does not collect project content or file paths. The same wording changes are applied in Spanish, French, and Chinese commands.mdx pages; the Chinese page also shortens its frontmatter description.
