Mozilla Rewrites Policy After Backlash from Users
Mozilla, the maker of the Firefox browser, has revamped its Terms of Use following criticism from users. The updated policy aims to address concerns about the broad language used previously, which some feared would allow Mozilla to sell user data to advertisers or AI companies.
Clearer Terms of Use
In response to the backlash, Mozilla clarified that the new terms do not represent a change in how the company handles data. The updated policy now explicitly states that Mozilla does not claim ownership of user data and only uses it to operate Firefox.
User Data and Privacy
Mozilla now specifies that users grant the company the necessary rights to operate Firefox and interact with online content. The company also removed references to the Acceptable Use Policy to avoid confusion. Additionally, Mozilla updated its Privacy FAQ to better explain legal terms and data sharing practices.
Data Sharing Practices
While Firefox does collect and share some data with partners for optional ads and sponsored suggestions, Mozilla ensures that the shared information is anonymized and used only in aggregate. Users can also adjust their data-sharing settings within the browser to control their privacy preferences.
