I’ve an addon which shows Consent Dialog with Generic Info about data collection, But AMO Rejected the same with the Rejection reason attached in screenshot.
Additionally they have mentioned there is separation between Anonymous Data collection and Identifiable data collection. I don’t have anonymous data collection. How to present a privacy popup for this Rejection reason that Firefox Mentioned.
Please help in this case.
Hey @rasisilambu9. You said you don’t have anonymous data collection, but in my experience “data collection” is an easy to misunderstand term. Often developers don’t realize that their extension’s current behaviors are classified as data collection even though the developer doesn’t persist any of that of the data being “collected.”
What the Add-ons Policies mean by “data collection” is data that leaves the control of the browser. Or to put it another way, information that is externalized as a result of having the extension installed.
For example, say your extensions sends an API request to your server that contains the URL of the user’s current web page and the API responds with either a coupon code or an empty message. Let’s also say that your server doesn’t store the URL or even log that the request came in. Under the Add-ons Policies, this is considered as personal data collection.
