And directly following your quote:
> Cliqz uses several techniques to attempt to remove sensitive information from this browsing data before it is sent from Firefox. Cliqz does not build browsing profiles for individual users and discards the user’s IP address once the data is collected. Cliqz’s code is available for public review and a description of these techniques can be found here.
- blub 9y agoIt's irrelevant whether spyware is open source or it uses anonymisation techniques. Installed without explicit consent + collecting data = spyware.
- Sylos 9y agoRetrofitting something into a definition does not help anyone. We have more precision available than calling it "spyware" can deliver, so argue around that. If you think their anonymisation techniques are faulty or you have reason to believe that Cliqz will violate the law by collecting personal data, then bring that forth.
