Privacy stays local.

OTel Token Meter is designed to work without sending your trace data to us or any third party.

The website

This static website does not use cookies, analytics, advertising, fingerprinting, accounts, third-party fonts, or remote scripts. Our hosting infrastructure may process standard request metadata such as IP address, time, path, and user agent for short-lived security and reliability logs.

The CLI

The CLI has no telemetry and makes no outbound request. Its collector receives OTLP/HTTP on an address you choose, defaulting to loopback. It stores aggregate counters for project, model, tool, tokens, cache, duration, errors, and observed cost. It does not persist prompts, completions, trace IDs, span events, or individual trace records.

Your control

Your aggregate data is the JSON file passed with --data. You can inspect, move, or delete it at any time. Configure your trace exporter not to include prompt and completion bodies for defense in depth.

For privacy questions or vulnerability reports, open an issue in the public repository. Do not include private trace data.
