+
+Since version 4.7 a Management server will automatically 'call-home' towards the Apache CloudStack project.
+
+On a weekly basis the Management Server(s) will generate a report about how your CloudStack deployment is being used.
+
+## Report contents
+This report does not contain any personal information, it only includes statiscs on how CloudStack is being used:
+
+* The number of Instances
+* The number of Zones and their hypervisor type
+* The amount of Primary Storage pools
+* The total size of the Primary Storage pools
+* The version of CloudStack and the history
+* The IP-Address where the report came from (used for Geolocation)
+
+## Disabling
+For the CloudStack project this is vital information for tracking how and where CloudStack is being used, but if an administrator
+whishes the reports can be disabled.
+
+Setting the global setting 'usage.report.interval' to 0 makes sure no report is being send.
+
+## How is the data being used
+The data gathered by the CloudStack project is being used to determine how CloudStack is being used and in which configuration.
+
+It provides the project valuable information which can be used to find out which features are being used and which are not.
+
+## Who has access to the data
+All PMC members from the Apache CloudStack project have access to the data.
