You need 2 repos - clones of following:
https://github.com/akontsevich/ConnectedCreatorPlugin - the QtC plugin
https://github.com/akontsevich/QTelemetry - the library - QTelemetry name

>> Currently, the plugin tracks Qt Quick Designer usage only: launch count and
>> usage time. General platform data is collected by the telemetry library.
>> This data currently includes compiler details, locale, OpenGL type and
>> version, Qt version, screen details, Qt Creator version, license type
>> (evaluation, commercial, no license), and unique id (generated with QUuid).

>> All collected data is anonymous. No personal data such as project names,

>> backend is complexly separated from the telemetry frontend and the code
>> will be provided in The Qt Company
>> private repo: https://github.com/TheQtCompany/qt-telemetry-backend.
>> The collected data is cached into a settings file before the transmission.
>> This allows the user to check, what data is going to be transmitted and
>> even disable the plugin before any data is actually transmitted. In
>> addition, data caching allows calculating key values in the frontend
>> instead of sending each user event to the server separately. This reduces
>> the network traffic significantly. By default, the cached data is
>> transmitted to the server once per week. It is possible to log the
>> transmitted data into the files to verify all the data transmitted to the

>> The plugin is planned to be completely opt-in. The online installer will ask

>> selection for the installation, but user must explicitly choose either to
