Most of the data that is collected by Mozilla is not PII. See our data collection guidelines: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Data_Collection https://wiki.moz

  It's good and all that you have a policy, but the fact remains that you have the ability to make exceptions for collecting PII in category 4. That's what I mean by "don't collect" -- this stuff isn't your data. Get your mitts off it.

    You make it sound like we could decide to have Firefox collect your PII without your consent. We won't. The standards for the collection of category 4 data are "Default off. May be eligible for opt-in data collection by specific users, provided there is (i) advance user notice (ii) consent and (iii) an opt-out." The only collection of this data that I'm personally aware of is the Firefox Pioneer program. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-firefox-pioneer https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-firefox-pioneer (Disclosure: I work for Mozilla)

  If the data differs between users, then it can be PII — this is confirmed by the fact that browser fingerprinting works.

    Fingerprinting works because the sites link that fingerprint back to an identifiable individual.
