It is opt-in by default for non-commercial licenses:

> For companies: Admins can enable data sharing at a company-wide level. To support early adopters, we’re offering a limited number of free All Products Pack subscriptions to organizations willing to participate while we explore this program. For companies that are not willing to opt in to the program, nothing changes, and as always, admins are in control. > For individuals on non-commercial licenses: Data sharing is enabled by default, but you can turn it off anytime in the settings. > For individuals using commercial licenses, free trials, free community licenses, or EAP builds: Nothing changes. You can still opt in via the settings if you are willing to share data with JetBrains (and your admins, if any, allow it).

And the detail of what is collected:

> We’re now adding the option to allow the collection of detailed code‑related data pertaining to IDE activity, such as edit history, terminal usage, and your interactions with AI features. This may include code snippets, prompt text, and AI responses.

"Opt-in by default" is a contradiction. Do I have to actively do something to turn it on, in which case it's opt-in; or is it on by default, in which case it's not opt-in?

That's called opt-out.

> Data sharing is enabled by default, but you can turn it off anytime

I wonder if this is legal in the EU?
