Below is the location and final copy:


== Page Location (From Stacy M)

In the current version (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/privacy/firefox.html), I would put it in "Interactive Product Features" under a subheading of "Snippets" or "Snippets Feature".  I would probably put it after "Usage Statistics." 


== Final Copy

Firefox's  default home page (<about:home>) loads snippets of info 
that we  think will be useful to you. You can see them right below the 
search bar. Once per day, Firefox gets new snippets from Mozilla. 
Whenever you see a snippet, that snippet makes a request to Mozilla, 
so that we can count how often snippets are viewed. 

This request to Mozilla only sends the name of the snippet and is 
securely transmitted over HTTPS. We only use the 
information from these requests to estimate what fraction of Firefox 
users click on each snippet, and we break down this info into general 
categories like Firefox version and geographic area. We will not use 
any of the information in this request to attempt to identify you or 
your activity anywhere else online, and we aggregate the info we 
receive into these general categories as soon as is practical.

Clarification Note:

We updated the existing ff privacy policy in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764151 

This bug covers the 'new' bedrock policy under development.

The new bedrock PP should not go live without the above changes being added.

I am ready to send a pull request for the final Firefox policy in Bedrock, which includes this change but I am blocked on a previous pull request that still needs to be reviewed and merged. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755055#c10
