Mozilla’s support page detailing data collection practices discloses what data the browser collects from users.
Introduced in November last year, Firefox Focus is indeed collecting user data. Welchering alleged that data sent to Adjust includes personal details that are not anonymized. By default, the option comes enabled with each new iOS installation. The browser then sends the data to the servers of Adjust GmbH, a German data aggregation firm with a business relationship with Mozilla.Īccording to the researcher, Mozilla disguises the data collection feature under the “Send anonymous usage data” option in Firefox Focus. Security researcher Peter Welchering told Deutschlandfunk that Firefox Klar, the German version of Firefox Focus, collects personal user information. However, a recent report from German newspaper Deutschlandfunk claims the app is itself collecting user data from iOS devices.
