612rust-analyzer itself doesn't access the network. 612== Privacy
613The VS Code plugin doesn't access the network unless the nightly channel is selected in the settings. 613
614In that case, the plugin uses the GitHub API to check for and download updates. 614The 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.
615If enabled (the default), build scripts and procedural macros can do anything.

617The Code extension automatically connects to GitHub to download updated LSP binaries and, if the nightly channel is selected, to perform update checks using the GitHub API. For `rust-analyzer` developers, using `cargo xtask release` uses the same API to put together the release notes.

619Any other editor plugins are not under the control of the `rust-analyzer` developers. For any privacy concerns, you should check with their respective developers.
