+# Beacons
+
+> **Version Support**
+> Beacons will be introduced in v2.4.0
+
+Cachet will periodically communicate with our remote server. This is done so
+that we're able to gather information about the current version of Cachet
+and will later be used for system announcements.
+
+## Disabling the beacon
+
+To disable the beacon, you can turn off the following setting in your .env file.
+
+```
+CACHET_BEACON=false
+```
+
+## What is reported?
+
+We report the following information to our server:
+
+- A unique installation ID
+- The current version of Cachet
+- A support contact email (the first enabled admin's email)
+- Anonymous statistics (the number of users, incidents, components and metrics)
+
+> **Support Contact Email**
+> The contact email is used for the sole purpose of security
+> announcements and will never be used for anything else.
