Hi all, I work on the privacy team at Mozilla. In reading through these posts, I see two key lines of questioning:
1) How is analytics tracking consistent with Mozilla's values? And specifically, how is it consistent with valuing privacy? 2) Why do we use Google? And can we switch? Because both of these require more detailed answers, my response is primarily around where to find more info in the near future. We work hard to use tracking in a way that is consistent with our values. It doesn't mean we don't do any tracking. Our websites privacy policy describes the tracking that we do and we're working on more ways to describe our practices in more detail and in more places in an effort to be as clear and transparent as possible. Some of what's in the works and/or under consideration includes - user research, privacy blog posts, a new SUMO section that will describe our practices in more detail than what's in our privacy notices, and some ways to use DNT and/or Tabzilla to describe our analytics tracking. I hope to have more to post soon and I welcome feedback.
