Tsumugi Extension

What stays on your computer

Your stories, game files and settings never leave your computer. We never see them.

What Tsumugi is required to send

Your licence key and salted one-way codes made from your device and your network. These codes cannot be turned back into your device’s ID or your IP address.

Your choices

You may opt out of anonymous usage collection at any time by disabling Send anonymous usage info in the extension’s Settings tab, or the tsumugi.usage.share setting in VS Code.

Turning off VS Code’s own telemetry (telemetry.telemetryLevel) also disables collection.

We use this data only to improve our services.
