The usage data is not sent to Mozilla but to a marketing company called "Adjust Inc.": https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-ios/wiki/Install-Tracking-in-Firefox-Focus-with-the-Adjust-SDK https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-ios/wiki/Install-Tra...
Firefox sending my data to a marketing company should not be on by default... Heck, it should not even be an option.
- gcthomas 9y agoUsage data isn't much of a privacy issue, but if you are a concerned user, don't you already have the habit of going through the settings of each new app? I found this one 2 minutes after installing and though nothing more of it.
- aceoflala 9y agoBy the time I have disabled it they have already pinged the "Adjust, Inc." servers at least once with my information. That's unacceptable.
- gcthomas 9y agoIf that is unacceptable in general, then why don't you check the settings of apps before you give them permission to access the internet? Mozilla is not even sneaky about it. On the Google Play download page, the privacy notice for the app tells you that optional usage tracking is on by dafault. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/focus#w_privacy https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/focus#w_privacy Perhaps you should read the privacy notices for apps if you are concerned? It seems perfectly acceptable to me.
