Looking at the other items on the Privacy Notice, I notice (heh) that this lacks a very brief description of what tiles are and what they do, which would go a long way towards making it clear what exact data we're collecting and how often.
Also, here's some questions that aren't answered by the proposed blurb: - What is 'locale information'? Is it the browser language I'm using, or is it my language preferences (AKA the Accept-Language header)? - How often is this data sent to Mozilla? Every time I view the page, or on a semi-regular basis? - Is the data aggregated, or are you able to tell how many times _I_ have clicked or viewed a tile? I'm also curious about how long we keep this data before discarding it and a few other things, but those generally don't seem to be covered by the privacy notice and may be answered in the detailed privacy policy.
