- st3fan 9y agoAFAIK We throw IP addresses away pretty quickly after receiving a telemetry packet. You can read about our data collection approval process here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Data_Collection https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Data_Collection An IP address would be Category 4 - I think it is pretty much impossible to get approval for category 4. I highly doubt we have any products out there that actually collect Category 4 data.
- userbinator 9y agoDo your webservers really not have any logging? By default they all do. I've accepted it as a given that if I interact with a website, it will know my IP, but "phoning home" is a slightly different matter.
- gsich 9y agoThe problem hereby is that nobody can actually verify this. But this is true for all companies/servers you don't control.
