+# Privacy
+
+The LSP server performs no network access in itself, but runs
+`cargo metadata` which will update or download the crate registry and
+the source code of the project dependencies. If enabled (the default),
+build scripts and procedural macros can do anything.
+
+The Code extension does not access the network.
+
+Any other editor plugins are not under the control of the
+`rust-analyzer` developers. For any privacy concerns, you should check
+with their respective developers.
+
+For `rust-analyzer` developers, `cargo xtask release` uses the GitHub
+API to put together the release notes.
