In a blog post last week, Alan Davidson, Mozilla’s VP Policy, Trust & Security, announced that the company would allow users to delete their own telemetry data beginning with Firefox 72, slated for stable release on Tuesday.Īs Davidson notes, telemetry data isn't typically considered "personal data," something that's regulated under CCPA, but the act of giving users more control over it is something of a good faith effort by the company.įor users, telemetry data is basically any information about the browser, if its crashed, how its performed, in addition to other data about how it interacts with hardware, daily use, and user customizations. With the CCPA going into effect, Mozilla, like several companies over the last several months, announced plans to roll out changes to every user of its Firefox browser, not just those in California. The nation's first landmark consumer privacy law, the California Consumer Privacy Act, took effect last Wednesday as scheduled, and with it, a wave of email notifications, pop-ups, and other moves carried out by companies to better empower Californians to access their personal data.
Companies like Mozilla are using the passage of the CCPA as a way to better empower users to delete their own personal data.
