Things you should know:
Enabling this Service keeps your Firefox web browsing activity private from your internet service provider, and most websites you visit, by encrypting and routing it through our partner Cloudflare’s network instead.
-
Cloudflare receives your web browsing data to provide the Service: As you browse, Firefox will encrypt the data you send to websites and send it to Cloudflare. Cloudflare will also receive your computer’s IP address, the IP address of the site you are browsing to, the timestamp, and a unique identifier. Cloudflare does not share this data with others and deletes this after 24 hours unless necessary for its security or legal obligations. Learn more at Cloudflare's Privacy Policy for Firefox Private Network.
-
This Service protects most—but not all—of your web browsing: The Service only works in Firefox and for websites that communicate with your computer using TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). For example, it does not work for data exchanged on certain video conferencing services (such as Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, GoToMeeting) or on applications outside of Firefox (such as other apps on your device).
