Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Data Platform and Tools :: Glean: SDK, task, P1)

Description

[Jan-Erik Rediger [:janerik] (Away 2026-04-02 - 2026-04-10)]

We want to analyse the behavior of app start vs. app visible using a new ping observing the same events and schedule as the baseline ping plus the extra event when the app is actually visible.

Data Review

1. Is there or will there be documentation that describes the schema for the ultimate data set in a public, complete, and accurate way?

Yes, through the metrics.yaml file and the Glean Dictionary.

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

Yes, through the "Send Usage Data" preference in the application settings.

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

N/A, collection to end 2023-12-31

4. 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 data

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

Default-on

6. Does the instrumentation include the addition of any new identifiers (whether anonymous or otherwise; e.g., username, random IDs, etc. See the appendix for more details)?

No

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

Yes
