- MartijnHols 2y agoMy mistake, I missed that the data was limited to "personal" information.
- scottbez1 2y agoBut, "we have x million monthly users _in Arizona_" would be using your personal data, from a legal standpoint. And if they provide that aggregate data in exchange for money, they are selling your personal data (but not in the way many people think of it, like in a Google/FB sense of building an individualized profile and selling ads against that). Mozilla might be doing very sketchy things with your data, but it's also very plausible that they are doing a reasonable job at anonymization of data but in a way that is still technically classified as selling personal data (in aggregate form).
- crowselect 2y agoI don’t think that’s true: Per: https://thecpra.org/#1798.145(a)(6) https://thecpra.org/#1798.145(a)(6) > Exemptions: > (6) Collect, use, retain, sell, share, or disclose consumers’ personal information that is deidentified or aggregate consumer information. I understand that people who have a vested interest in eroding any possibility of online privacy and data protection would want us to believe these laws are vague and overreaching - but that doesn’t mean they actually are vague and overreaching.
