ByteDance's AI programming tool, Trae IDE, is involved in a data privacy controversy. Developers found that even after disabling telemetry, the tool continued to upload data, and there was a remote-activatable hot update mechanism. The official response stated that only non-sensitive statistical data and performance metrics are collected for product optimization, and emphasized compliance with data protection regulations. However, users questioned the transparency of the data encryption mechanism and noted that the privacy policy does not clearly list the specific types of data collected. The team explained that the telemetry mechanism is independent from VSCode, and that only the native module was disabled, hoping to ease user concerns.
