We want to instrument the Pin/Unpin tab action by sending a ping every time a user uses this feature. Along with the ping we also send the maximum number of pinned tabs the user had so far for that browsing session.

DATA COLLECTION REVIEW RESPONSE:

    Is there or will there be documentation that describes the schema for the ultimate data set available publicly, complete and accurate?

Yes. This collection is documented in Activity Stream's data documentation: https://github.com/mozilla/activity-stream/blob/master/docs/v2-system-addon/data_events.md

    Is there a control mechanism that allows the user to turn the data collection on and off?

Yes. This collection is subject to the Telemetry opt-out so can be controlled through Firefox's Preferences.

    If the request is for permanent data collection, is there someone who will monitor the data over time?

Yes. Nan Jiang and Andrei Oprea.

    Using the category system of data types on the Mozilla wiki, what collection type of data do the requested measurements fall under?

Category 2, Interaction.

    Is the data collection request for default-on or default-off?

Default on for all channels.

    Does the instrumentation include the addition of any new identifiers?

No.

    Is the data collection covered by the existing Firefox privacy notice?

Yes.

    Does there need to be a check-in in the future to determine whether to renew the data?

No. This data collection is permanent.
