For a while, there hasn't been a clear decision-maker about data
collection practices within Firefox. This includes lack of clarity about
who needs to approve changes to Firefox Health Report, as well as
uncertainty about what privacy review means and who can "do" a privacy
review. To clarify this and streamline the decision-making process, I am
proposing to own a policy module for this:
Policy Module: Firefox Data Collection
Description: Firefox Data Collection is responsible for the data that
Firefox sends back to Mozilla. This includes reviewing both data quality
and privacy, and approving new types of pings and measurements. This
encompasses measurements included in the current Firefox Health Report,
Telemetry, and crash-stats, as well as other data that Firefox sends
back such as update and blocklist pings.
Owner: Benjamin Smedberg
Peers: Taras Glek
More information about decision-making:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Data_Collection
I'm specifically limiting this to Firefox; it does not include Firefox
OS. I think Firefox OS should have a clear decision-maker about its
product data collection, but I am not that person.
I am open to suggestions/nominations for additional peers.
