  • I’m not going to crawl through the notices now, but e.g. the Firefox Privacy Policy says:

    To perform the purposes listed above, we work with partners, service providers, suppliers and contractors. We have contractual protections in place, so that the entities receiving personal data are contractually obligated to handle the data in accordance with Mozilla’s instructions. Learn more.

    This includes Fastly (see also the Learn more link). That is the policy that applies, not Fastly’s own policy.



  • I don’t think Fastly’s Privacy Policy is relevant here, as you’re not entering into an agreement with Fastly. The Firefox VPN FAQ states:

    We collect technical data needed to provide, maintain, and ensure the performance and stability of the service, as well as interaction data to understand usage of the feature and help guide improvements. For example, we may log whether a connection succeeded or failed, or record that 2 GB of data was used on a certain day.

    Importantly, VPN never logs the websites you visit or the content of your communications.

    Other than that, I think it’s the Firefox Privacy Policy that you should be looking at.

    Also worth noting is that, when I review Privacy Policies, I distinguish between sharing data to provide the service I’m signing up for, with the only allowed use being providing that service, and sharing data for other purposes. The former is basically unavoidable for any online service, whereas the latter is often shady.



  • It’s making fun of people getting all worked up about their (extreme) idea of feminists. Usually, they’ll also picture these straw feminists as not wearing bras, so presumably they’re lurking at the training bra section to prey on young children about to get their first bra.
