As mozilla.com (and our 20+ other sites such as AMO, MDC, etc...) have grown to be some of the top visited properties on the planet, we have maxed out the capabilities of our current web analytics solution. We needed to shift to a world-class, scalable option that has active development and innovative reporting and analytics. The new solution will help us better understand what our users are doing on our websites so that we can continuously improve their user experience.
Mozilla has selected Omniture (http://www.omniture.com) and Google Analytics (http://www.google.com/analytics) as additional web analytics solutions. The major difference between what Mozilla has today and these third-party solutions is that Omniture and Google Analytics are hosted web site services. In order to accommodate, we need to make some changes to our current website privacy policy, provide opt-out procedures and affect a minor change for SUMO's Live Chat feature (http://support.mozilla.com/). Below are the proposed changes to the mozilla.com privacy policy. * Redlined markup of proposed changes (Adobe Acrobat format) http://people.mozilla.com/~basil/privacy/RedlinePrivacyFeb08.pdf * Candidate new web site privacy policy & hosts file opt-out instructions http://people.mozilla.com/~basil/privacy/LOCAL-privacy-policy.html * Current web site privacy policy http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/privacy-policy.html Note that this policy change is only in effect for mozilla.com and associated web properties and does not change the existing Firefox privacy policy. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/legal/privacy/firefox-en.html We encourage any questions, discussions and followups to the mozilla.governance mailing list and newsgroup. Thanks. _______________________________________________ announce mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/announce
