Firefox + Cliqz Privacy Notice

• Interaction data: Firefox sends data about your interactions with Firefox to us (such as number of open tabs and windows; number of webpages visited; number and type of installed Firefox Add-ons; and session length) and Firefox features offered by Mozilla or our partners (such as interaction with Firefox search features and search partner referrals).

• Technical data: Firefox sends data about your Firefox version and language; device operating system and hardware configuration; memory, basic information about crashes and errors; outcome of automated processes like updates, safebrowsing, and activation to us. When Firefox sends data to us, your IP address is temporarily collected as part of our server logs.

Firefox with Cliqz by default connects to Cliqz to display search results in the URL bar. Cliqz GmbH is a German company offering a privacy oriented search experience. Learn more at their privacy policy. When the Cliqz feature is enabled:

• Search Queries and Webpage Data to Cliqz: The users of Firefox with Cliqz contribute anonymized data that Cliqz uses to improve the recommendation rankings via Cliqz’s Human Web technology. This data includes text typed in the URL bar, queries sent to certain search engines, and data about the visited webpages and interactions with those pages, such as mouse movements, scrolls, and time spent. To protect your privacy, Cliqz removes sensitive information including any kind of user identifiers or potential user identifers (UIDs) from this browsing data before it is ever sent from Firefox.

• Interaction Data to Cliqz: This includes your interactions with specific fields and buttons in the Cliqz feature. This data is tied to a unique identifier allowing Cliqz to understand performance over time. The data is not associated with your search queries or webpage data.

• Interaction Data to Mozilla: This includes counts of visits to search engine pages, which search engines you use, and your Cliqz identifier.

• Location Data to Cliqz: This includes your location whenever you open a new window or type in the URL bar. Cliqz uses this data to provide context for search recommendations (e.g. searches for nearby stores), but does not retain a copy of this location. You may opt-out of location sharing in the Cliqz Settings menu in the URL bar, but this may decrease the quality of your search recommendations.

Learn more about Cliqz data collection. To check if the Cliqz feature is enabled or to disable data collection:

• Type "about:addons" into your Firefox URL bar

• Selecting "Disable" will turn off the Cliqz feature and stop related data collection

• Technical data for add-ons blocklist: Firefox for Desktop and Android periodically connect to Mozilla to protect you and others from malicious add-ons.

This may involve Firefox sending certain information about the website to the Certificate Authority identified by that website.

  Opting out increases the risk of your private information being intercepted. Learn more.

By default on desktop versions of Firefox, we will ask you to share a report with more detailed information about crashes with Mozilla, but you always have the choice to decline.

• Location data to Google's geolocation service: Firefox always asks before determining and sharing your location with a requesting website (for example, if a map website needs your location to provide directions).
