Hi everyone,
We would like to update our Privacy Notice for Firefox Hello[1], to reflect our
usage of Google Analytics and Optimizely for analytics and inform users how to
opt-out. Our use of these analytics was already part of our Privacy Notice for
all Mozilla websites[2][3], but we wanted to make it clear that this included
Firefox Hello. We also wanted to make sure users were provided notice of the
opt-out mechanisms for each. Below is the language that we are adding:
* **Analytics**: We may also use cookies and third party services to help us
understand in the aggregate how users engage with Hello. We use:
* Google Analytics, which places a cookie on your device, to obtain metrics
on how users engage with Hello. This helps us to improve the Hello service.
* Optimizely, which places a cookie on your device, to help us test
variations of Hello. This helps us offer better experiences to Hello users.
---------------------------------------
You can control individual cookie preferences and opt-out of web analytics and
optimization tools. Learn More
* **Cookie History**: You can accept or decline individual cookies in the
preferences
in the appropriate settings within your web browser. For Firefox, this can be
found in the Tools/Options/Privacy history section. Note that certain features
of Hello may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
* **Analytics & Optimization**: If you do not want data about your interaction
with
Hello to be collected by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics
Opt-out Browser Add-on. The add-on keeps your visits anonymous and prohibits
data transmission to Google Analytics. If you do not want data about your
interaction with Hello to be collected by Optimizely, you can opt-out by
visiting Optimizely's opt-out website for more information.
You can also see the changes to the privacy policy on Github[4], which we are
targeting for November 30, and we look forward to any feedback you might have.
Thanks,
Elvin
