Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:9769 micahlee]:
 > * We had issues with Mozilla's data retention policy. I have heard that
 Mozilla has since updated their policies. Here is the current policy that
 governs AMO: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/policies/websites/ -- I
 should read it and go over it with an EFF lawyer to make sure we're ok
 with it now.

 This is (was) the big issue from Tor's side. We looked at their detailed
 graphs of where all the users are, and where all the users are asking for
 updates from, and realized that they basically track the locations,
 versions, other add-ons installed, etc of all their users all the time --
 and anybody who breaks into or otherwise gets their data set can too. I
 guess how long they retain the data is a fine question too, but collecting
 such detailed and fine-grained per-user info at all makes me very sad.
