Hang on, can we de-escalate for a moment?

We are talking here about "data relating to the tiles such as number of
clicks, impressions, your IP address, URLs, locale information and tile
specific data (e.g., position and size of grid)."

Can you construct a scenario where information of that type would be the
subject of government interest or an NSL? I'm not sure they are
particularly interested in the fact that I've seen an tile for the New
York Times 133 times. You IP address is revealed to Mozilla whenever
your browser pings Mozilla for any reason; they key question is what
other PII is associated with it. Here, your locale is included, but
nothing else that seems like PII.

I would also like the privacy policy to expand much more on how this
data is collected and why, but I think that we are overstating things by
worrying about governments here. Now, if we had a service that stored
your entire browsing history, that would be different...
