+## Project Owner Registration
+
+The first time an owner is set for your instance, Directus sends a one-time registration that associates the project with a point of contact. Alongside the owner, this includes details such as organization name, how the project is used, and whether you opted in to product updates.

 This registration is independent of both the usage report and the licensing service:

-The only way to avoid sending the registration is to not set a project owner, which means skipping the onboarding form and leaving `PROJECT_OWNER` unset.
+### How to Opt Out
+
+Set `PROJECT_OWNER_ENABLED=false` to stop the registration from being sent. This works the same way `TELEMETRY=false` disables the usage report.
