+## FAQ
+
+### Does TALA use the internet?
+
+We do not collect telemetry or use the internet in any way except to ping to check the
+status of a license. This is only done when necessary, e.g. if you purchased a month
+subscription, TALA will ping at the end of that month and renew automatically if the
+subscription is ongoing. If you purchased a year, it won't ping for a year. The only data
+that's sent in these pings is the API token itself. No diagrams or anything else leaves
+your computer.
