2 years ago We will no longer be accepting the collection of browsing activity data, unless it is part of the add-on’s primary function. We don't collect browsing activity data - if it means reading history, checking urls of other tabs
from @irina060981 the only problem here that for some reasons we have to get these permissions from a user. But I don't remember why do we have them.
from @balmas I don’t remember either. We could try removing the permission and having Monica do a full regression test, and if everything works, then not worry about it.
Add-ons with the sole purpose of promoting, installing, loading or launching another website, application or add-on are no longer permitted to be listed on addons.mozilla.org.
from @irina060981 We have activities - launching other site for using chinese vocabulary for translating in an iframe, but it couldn't be named as the sole purpose.
from @balmas I agree
The use of encryption - standard HTTPS - is now always required when communicating with remote services.
from @irina060981 I found one place that should be checked:
- DefaultSiteOptions has the following treebank links:
"treebanks": { "labelText": "Treebanks", "defaultValue": "http://alpheios.net/alpheios-treebanks/tbext.html?owner=perseids-project&repos=harrington_trees&collid=lattb&objid=7229&doc=lattb.7229.1", "multiValue": false, "values": [ { "value": "http://alpheios.net/alpheios-treebanks/tbext.html?owner=perseids-project&repos=harrington_trees&collid=lattb&objid=7229&doc=lattb.7229.1", "test": "Example Site Treebank" } ] }But I believe that it could be easily updated to https, because our site is used under https and also I think this option should not be ever used
from @balmas We could just remove these settings. They aren’t used.
We have also updated the language regarding the data disclosure, collection and management. If your add-on does not have a privacy policy listed on addons.mozilla.org, or your add-on does not show a consent prompt at first run of the add-on, we encourage you to read our updated policies and take action as necessary.
from @irina060981 I din't find privacy policy listed on https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/alpheios-reading-tools/ and we don't show any prompt on starting the extension. But if I understand right - it is not really necessary to have.
from @balmas We do have one. It’s at http://alpheios.net/pages/privacy-policy/. I was pretty sure I loaded it on the add-ons site, so it’s weird that it’s not there.
