+# Chat Session Telemetry Implementation
+
+This implementation adds comprehensive GDPR-compliant telemetry for chat session lifecycle events in VS Code.
+
+## Telemetry Events
+
+### 1. chatSessionCreated
+Tracks when new chat sessions are created or restored.
+
+**Data collected:**
+- `sessionId`: Random session identifier 
+- `location`: Where the session was created (Chat panel, inline, etc.)
+- `isRestored`: Whether this session was restored from storage
+- `hasHistory`: Whether the session has existing conversation history
+- `requestCount`: Number of requests in the session (for restored sessions)
+
+### 2. chatSessionDisposed
+Tracks when chat sessions are disposed/cleared.
+
+**Data collected:**
+- `sessionId`: Random session identifier
+- `reason`: Why the session was disposed ('cleared', 'disposed', 'error')
+- `durationMs`: How long the session was active in milliseconds
+- `requestCount`: Total number of requests in the session
+- `responseCount`: Total number of responses in the session
+
+### 3. chatSessionRestored
+Tracks session restoration attempts from persistent storage.
+
+**Data collected:**
+- `sessionId`: Random session identifier
+- `success`: Whether the session was successfully restored
+- `errorCode`: Error code if restoration failed
+- `requestCount`: Number of requests in the restored session
+- `ageInDays`: How old the session was when restored
+
+### 4. chatSessionPersisted
+Tracks when sessions are written to persistent storage.
+
+**Data collected:**
+- `sessionId`: Random session identifier
+- `success`: Whether the session was successfully persisted
+- `errorCode`: Error code if persistence failed
+- `requestCount`: Number of requests in the session
+- `sizeInBytes`: Size of the session data in bytes
+
+## GDPR Compliance
+
+All telemetry follows VS Code's GDPR patterns:
+
+- **Classifications**: Uses appropriate `SystemMetaData` classification for non-personal data
+- **Purposes**: Uses `FeatureInsight` for usage patterns and `PerformanceAndHealth` for diagnostics
+- **Comments**: Clear explanations of what each field contains and why it's collected
+- **Owner**: Properly attributed to `roblourens`
+- **isMeasurement**: Correctly marked for numeric values used in calculations
+
+## Privacy Protection
+
+The implementation ensures no sensitive data is collected:
+- ❌ No user content or conversation data
+- ❌ No file paths or personal identifiers
+- ❌ No usernames or email addresses
+- ✅ Only session metadata and performance metrics
+- ✅ Uses anonymous session IDs for correlation
+
+## Integration Points
+
+- **ChatService**: Session creation and disposal events
+- **ChatSessionStore**: Session persistence events
+- **ChatServiceTelemetry**: Centralized telemetry emission
+
+## Testing
+
+Comprehensive test coverage in `chatSessionTelemetry.test.ts` validates:
+- Telemetry event emission for all lifecycle events
+- GDPR-compliant data structure
+- No sensitive data leakage
+- Proper error handling and edge cases
