The keyboard provides better [suggestions](https://yandex.com/support/keyboard-android/en/dictionary.md) if you enable the collection of anonymized technical data. For example, this includes usage statistics like how often you launch it or log in.

Yandex doesn't collect input data by default. Your private information, such as passwords, email addresses, phone numbers, and credit card details, is stored on your device.

To disable the collection of anonymous technical data, go to **Personalization** in the Yandex Keyboard settings and disable the **Make Yandex Keyboard better** option.
