Updated 15 December 2025
The Firefox OS Privacy Notice explains what device, usage, location, and update-related data Firefox OS shares with Mozilla to enable core functionality, security updates, app discovery, and product improvement. It can be trusted because it is issued by Mozilla, a well-established organisation with a strong public commitment to user privacy, and it clearly links data handling to the Mozilla Privacy Policy while offering user controls and transparency about third-party services.

[company name] cares about your Privacy. When [operating system name] sends information to us, our [company name] Privacy Policy describes how we handle that information.
Things you should know

Updates: To keep itself up to date, [operating system name] automatically connects to a service operated by or on behalf of the manufacturer of your device.

Initial Activation: Upon initial activation of your [operating system name] device, [operating system name] sends to [company name] a one-time data ping (e.g., data relating to device specific information such as software release version, partner ID, country and screen size) which helps [company name] determine if security updates and critical fixes are needed for our users and partners, determine requirements for app developers so they can build better apps for our users, and helps [company name] with market analysis (e.g., determine how many devices have been activated).
App Usage: In order to improve content discovery on [service name], [operating system name] sends "Application Usage Information" (e.g., active use time, counts of opens/closes/crashes, list of uninstalled apps on [operating system name] devices) to [company name].
