Data review requests

Preliminary note:

The Telemetry Environment is sent unconditionally with many Telemetry pings, which can be opted out of by the usual Firefox Preferences. 

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?

No. This data collection needs to be documented (in [environment.rst](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/telemetry/docs/data/environment.rst) would be great).

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. The environment property is documented [here](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/telemetry/telemetry/data/environment.html), and the crash annotation is documented [here](https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/toolkit/crashreporter/CrashAnnotations.yaml).

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

Yes. These collections can be controlled through Firefox's Preferences. (Data Collection and Crash Reporting)

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

Yes. :aklotz is responsible.

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

Category 1, Technical.

    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. These collections are permanent.
