I wanted to respond to some questions about the User Data and Services Code.
Is there an existing "code of practice for user data and services" that we can reference? Or is it strictly just the Manifesto[1] and the Six Privacy Principals[2]? >>It's primarily extending the Privacy Principles into subject matter beyond >>but related to privacy, in harmony with the Manifesto. However, there are >>other Mozilla references including the Data Safety principles and the cloud >>requirements that would be factored in, plus the external codes that are >>referenced as well. How will this new "User Data and Services Code" be used by Mozilla? Will it inform decisions being made about products and features? Will it be used to guide internal and/or community behaviors? >>This is not decided and would be part of the initial discussion, but even >>then probably not decided until broader socialization has occurred. I'm also wondering how you will balance the discussion if everyone is passionate about security and privacy. What if an outcome of this new "code" is that Firefox should default to "Private Browsing mode" because it offers the greatest security and privacy to users? That may be a reasonable outcome for a policy focused solely on improving security and privacy. It seems like there should be a counterweight for user expectations and usability, and I'm wondering if you've already contemplated this? >>The balancing will occur both in the initial session (through moderation and >>considerations to how Mozilla could operationalize a statement) and in >>follow-on socialization process. The initial session will provide a >>mostly-baked starting point that will in turn have input from others. -- Stacy Martin Senior Manager, Privacy and Engagement Mozilla 2 Harrison Street, Suite 700, San Francisco, CA 916-390-4845 (cell) [email protected] _______________________________________________ dev-privacy mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-privacy
