Firefox Monitor Terms & Privacy by Mozilla
Updated 15 December 2025
The Firefox Monitor Terms & Privacy document explains how Mozilla’s Firefox Monitor service helps users identify whether their email addresses appear in publicly disclosed data breaches and provides alerts and safety guidance to reduce account compromise risks. It can be trusted because it is published by Mozilla, relies on the well-known Have I Been Pwned data source, and transparently ties its data handling to Mozilla’s established Privacy Policy and website terms.
