Redirecting to Megan. With only scant minutes elapsed since her name was added to [the list](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Data_Collection).

Data collection review

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 documentation in the file data_events.md 

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

Yes. This collection is through Activity Stream Telemetry so it 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. Ricky Rosario and Nan Jiang will monitor the data. 

    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 and locales.

    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.
