Hi everyone, I started this review request with all the proposed data collections for this release. I also added a section at the end to describe all the mitigations that we have taken for those category 3 data collections.

Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

Update the request form with more details on the data collection timeline and userbase.

Tagging @chutten for the process to reopen review on this ticket. Apologies if I did this incorrecty - this UI is new to me.

Thank you for answering an unasked Q13, that'll aid Trust's answer.

The dates for the stated experiment are in the past. It suggests that maybe this request needs to be updated? Also, the request hasn't been updated in a few months. Are there additions or other changes to data collection that need to be echoed in this request?

I'll hold back on kicking this up to Trust for the nonce while we get this Request tidied up (or these questions cleared up).

I could use some help understanding what is needed. You and Jeff had indicated in this slack thread (https://mozilla.slack.com/archives/C029MHKTLLU/p1631297573010800?thread_ts=1631293282.010500&cid=C029MHKTLLU ) that we needed to reopen and re-review this bug because it was prematurely resolved, and should be re-opened when the new Privacy Notice language is in place so the collections can be reviewed in terms of the new terms.

In this case are there any changes/additions or does it just need the original review it wasn't flagged for? Not sure who can help answer this. Please let me know what I can help with here.

All new collections added to Mozilla projects are subject to Data Review. I'm assuming this Data Review Request is for the start and ongoing collection of new instrumentation added as part of Contextual Services and Firefox Suggest work and is not a retroactive request covering past experiments. The request doesn't describe the current slate of collections (the request doesn't match the documentation for example) and appears to be describing experiments that have already ended.

To ensure that all data collections are properly reviewed, the review must describe all of the proposed collections. Any additions or changes in the half year since the original review request was filed should be present to ensure we don't miss anything and accidentally let data collections in that don't meet the requirements of the Privacy Notice.

Given unclear history and scope of this bug, I've opened a clean data review with updated scope in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1733443.
