Firefox OS Privacy Notice by Mozilla

Open Legal LibraryUpdated 15 Dec 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.

[operating system name] Privacy Notice

[effective date]

[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

[operating system name] connects to us and others in order to provide product features.

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. [operating system name] also automatically checks for updates to installed apps by sending a request to the [service name] or, if you installed an app from another location, that app’s developer’s services.

Location: When you turn location services on, [operating system name] may use multiple data points and entities to estimate your location, including GPS, AGPS and other geolocation service providers. You can disable location services in the [operating system name] “Settings” app on your device. Learn more about AGPS Service Provider Terms.

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]. You can disable the sharing of App Usage Information in the [operating system name] “Settings” app on your device.

Search Engine Provider Information: In order to improve search on [operating system name] devices, [operating system name] sends information to [company name] about which search engine provided search results to the device. You can disable the sharing of search engine search result information in the [operating system name] “Settings” app on your device.

The device you are using, like most mobile devices, is created by several parties. This notice only covers how [company name] handles your information for official versions of [operating system name] authorized by [company name].

If you use apps made by someone other than [company name], their privacy policies will apply.

[operating system name] allows you to use several integrated third party services, such as your email or social provider. The privacy policy of those services will apply to your use of them.

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.

It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.

Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.

Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
