Description
The Disable-AzDataCollection cmdlet is used to opt out of data collection. Azure PowerShell
automatically collects telemetry data by default. To disable data collection, you must explicitly
opt-out. Microsoft aggregates collected data to identify patterns of usage, to identify common
issues, and to improve the experience of Azure PowerShell. Microsoft Azure PowerShell doesn't
collect any private or personal data. If you've previously opted out, run the
Enable-AzDataCollection cmdlet to re-enable data collection for the current user on the current
machine.
