I was concerned that Push Notifications may have a privacy impact, and a user 
might want to make a choice not to enable them. Apart from anything, Push 
notifications disclose to the carrier that the user has installed a specific 
app. Implicit permissions & a setting to enable/disable push notifications 
might suffice though to begin with, especially if this UI showed you which 
applications were registered to send & receive push APIs.

Hi!

Yes, they disclose to the server a pair of PbK and WAtoken. The WAtoken could 
be unique or shared, but the PbK should be the same for each installation of 
the app. So, yes, we know which users share the same PbK (that could eventually 
be mapped to a app).


I want to add: the Push server only moves raw data from one side to another, so 
if the app wants to encrypt the data end-to-end is perfectly allowed (and 
recomended) so on the server you only can see crypto data... so no privacy user 
data is exposed.

Also, on our side of course, the server will be on a controlled CPD with all 
the privacy and security required by law to this kind of servers.

I totally agree (and I think that Thinker's patch has this) that we _must_ ask 
the user to allow push notifications, but maybe he does not know what that 
means. (and also: "Yes", "Not now", "Never").

And I was talking with FernandoR that we should have a good UI to show the 
mapping of app<->URL to list every app that has a push URL, and add a method to 
revoke them (it's mostly implemented in our server, we need to test it).


Yes, it has been implemented this week so would be fantastic to have a way on 
gaia settings to revoke push permissions to one app.

Cheers,
