Data scope of data collection consent

Add-ons
#1

Hi folks, I have a question about the scope of data collection of extension.

If our extension itself doesn’t send logs to collect data, but calls some upstream APIs of another service, and that service has its own logs to capture that request. Is this out of the scope of data collection of the add-on? If user opt-out data collection, are we supposed to disable data collection of both extension and its consumed services?

The way I tend to think about the data collection requirements is to ask myself, “would same data have been collected by the same parties if the extension wasn’t installed?” If the answer is no, then the extension should disclose that data collection and if the user opts out it should prevent that data from being collected.

Hope that helps!
