Mozilla Firefox 隱私政策 2006 年 10 月

我們在提供個人電腦提昇效能、給予應得保護的產品及服務同時，也努力保護您的隱私。本政策闡述 Mozilla 基金會所有之 Mozilla 公司（後簡稱「Mozilla」）收集、使用官方版 Mozilla Firefox® （後簡稱「Firefox」）使用者資訊的方法，不適用於 Mozilla 其他網站、產品或服務。

資訊型態

如同其他網路瀏覽器，Firefox 也會將特定資訊傳送至您前往參觀的網站。在此資訊共分為三類：

• 個人資訊。「個人資訊」代表姓名、電話、電子郵件地址等各類可直接用以辨識特定個人之資訊。除了文後將提到的狀況外，Mozilla 並不收集也不要求 Firefox 一般使用者提供個人資訊。
• 非個人資訊。「非個人資訊」代表無法直接辨識個人的資訊，例如電腦設定、使用的 Firefox 版本等。
• 潛在個人資訊。「潛在個人資訊」本身雖為非個人資訊，卻可能結合其他資訊後便可辨識出特定個人。例如統一資源定位符（URL）與 IP 位址本身為非個人資訊，但結合網路服務供應商（ISP）的紀錄後就可用以辨識特定個人。

Firefox 送到網站的資訊

Firefox 如大部分的瀏覽器一樣，會將資訊送至您參觀的網站，這些資訊包括 (1) 瀏覽器產出之非個人資訊如瀏覽器型態、使用語言、來源網站、參訪日期時間等；(2) 潛在個人資訊如 IP 位址等。上述資訊可能為您參訪的網站紀錄，取決於該站之政策。

每個網站都有自己散佈或應用這些非個人及潛在個人資訊的政策，若您對其使用方式有所顧慮，請查閱該站之隱私政策。欲知 Mozilla 在自有網站上使用此類資訊的方法，請見 Mozilla 隱私政策。

產品互動功能

• 錯誤回報功能。Firefox 的錯誤回報功能「Talkback」會在 Firefox 停止回應時傳送系統報告給 Mozilla。Mozilla 會利用報告中的資訊找出並修復導致錯誤發生的原因。雖然 Talkback 會在 Firefox 停止回應後自動啟動，但在得到你的許可之前都不會送出資訊給 Mozilla。Talkback 預設會送出一些「非個人資訊」到 Mozilla，包含堆疊追蹤 (stack trace) –Firefox 發生錯誤時正執行程式碼的詳細內容和關於您的電腦資訊等。另外在「個人資訊」和「潛在個人資訊」方面，會收集 IP 位址、電腦名稱、和發生錯誤時正執行的程序清單，你可以自己選擇是否要送出這些敏感的資訊。你也可以選擇在報告中附上 Firefox 發生錯誤時正瀏覽的網站網址、其他相關描述及您的電子郵件地址。Mozilla 會把所有來自 Talkback 的報告中「非個人資訊」和「潛在個人資訊」向所有人公開，你可以連到 http://talkback-public.mozilla.org/ 查看。為了保護你的隱私，報告中的「個人資訊」將只有我們的員工、訂契約者和一部份簽署了禁止將個人資訊用在非 Mozilla 內部用途之保密條款的社群貢獻者可以查看。
• 問題網站回報。 Firefox 的問題網站回報功能可以在當您瀏覽到畫面異常或功能無法正常操作的網站時回報給 Mozilla。The feature sends the URL of the broken website to Mozilla. You may also choose to send your email address and a description of the problem. This feature also sends a variety of Non-Personally-Identifying Information to Mozilla, including but not limited to the version of Firefox you are using and your language preference. Except for your email address, Mozilla makes all of this information public. This feature does not send information to Mozilla until you explicitly authorize Firefox to do so. To prevent this public release of Personally-Identifying and Potentially-Personally-Identifying Information, don't report a website if the website's URL contains your Personally-Identifying and Potentially-Personally-Identifying Information, and don't include personal information in your description of the problem. To prevent the release of any information, don't use this feature to report a broken website.
• 偽造網頁回報。Firefox's Report Web Forgery feature lets you report suspected web forgeries to Mozilla and its third party service provider(s) for the Phishing Protection feature when you encounter a suspected malicious "phishing" or fraudulent website that is impersonating a legitimate website. This feature sends your comments about the suspected fraudulent website to Mozilla and its third-party provider(s), as well as the same information that the browser sends when you visit a website. Each of our third-party providers are under licensing agreements with Mozilla and will not release Potentially-Personally-Identifying Information to the public. These third party providers only use this information in conjunction with the Phishing Protection service they are providing. In addition, each third-party provider has its own privacy policy that is linked to the online form where you report a potential Web Forgery. To prevent the third party provider from obtaining this information, don't use this feature to report a Web Forgery. (Also see "Phishing Protection Feature" below.)
• 自動更新服務。Firefox 的自動更新功能將定期檢查 Mozilla 是否有釋出 Firefox 的更新版本。這項功能會傳送「非個人資料」的資訊給 Mozilla，包括您正在使用的 Firefox 版本，已經安裝的附加元件清單，以及您的語言設定。This feature also sends Potentially Personally-Identifying Information to Mozilla in the form of a cookie named "aus" that contains a unique numeric value to distinguish individual Firefox installs. Mozilla uses this Non-Personally-Identifying Information and Potentially Personally-Identifying Information to provide you with updated versions of Firefox and to understand the usage patterns of Firefox users. We use this information to improve our products and services and to support decision making regarding feature and capacity planning. We do not collect or track any Personally-Identifying Information or any information about the Web sites you visit, and we do not release the raw information we obtain from this feature to the public. We may release reports containing aggregate data so that our global community can make better product and design decisions. To prevent Mozilla from obtaining this information, you can turn this feature off in Firefox's preferences. For information about changing your preferences, go to our help page.

詐騙防護功能

The Firefox phishing protection feature displays a warning if the website you are visiting is suspected of impersonating a legitimate website. Firefox lets you select various levels of phishing protection, and different information is transmitted by Firefox depending on the level you choose.

By default, Firefox checks the web pages that you visit against a list of suspected web forgeries (a "blacklist") that is downloaded to your hard drive at regularly scheduled intervals (e.g., approximately twice per hour), the rate of frequency may change from time to time. If there is a match, Firefox displays a "Suspected Web Forgery" alert. Each time Firefox checks in with the third party provider to download a new blacklist, Non-Personally-Identifying Information and Potentially Personally-Identifying Information, such as the information that the browser sends every time you visit a website as well as the version number of the blacklist on your system, is sent to the third party provider. In order to safeguard your privacy, Firefox will not transmit the URL of web pages that you visit in this default mode to anyone.

Alternately, you can check the web pages you visit against an online list that is provided by a third party service. When you select this option, Firefox sends the URL of the web page, in addition to your IP address and other Non-Personally-Identifying Information, to the selected third party service provider. Firefox displays a warning if the third party service provider returns with a response indicating that the URL you are accessing is a suspected web forgery.

Finally, if you take any action in response to a phishing protection warning message, the selected phishing protection service provider may record that action and the URL of the page, and a cookie may be placed on your computer. While it is possible that a URL sent to your service provider may itself contain Personally-Identifying Information, Mozilla's third party service providers have entered into a written agreement with Mozilla not to use Personally-Identifying Information for purposes other than to enhance and maintain their phishing protection service. These third party service providers may inform you about additional notices regarding their applicable privacy policies.

You may completely turn off the phishing protection feature in Firefox's preferences. If you do this, none of the information discussed here will be downloaded to your hard drive or sent to any third party service provider. For information about changing your preferences, go to our help page.

Please note that we're not yelling at you in this paragraph. Our lawyers have advised us that we need to make sure this information is conspicuous so you'll read it. THE PHISHING PROTECTION FEATURE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION AS ADVICE AND GUIDANCE ONLY. MOZILLA DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE PHISHING PROTECTION FEATURE WILL PREVENT YOU FROM BEING DECEIVED BY A MALICIOUS WEBSITE AND WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONTINUE TO BE VIGILANT WHILE ONLINE, PARTICULARLY WHEN FOLLOWING LINKS SENT TO YOU IN E-MAIL. THE MOZILLA FIREFOX END USER LICENSE SOFTWARE AGREEMENT DESCRIBES THIS IN MORE DETAIL. Cookies

A cookie is a small string of information that a website stores on your computer and that web browsers make available to that website each time you return. Firefox stores cookies on your computer when requested to do so by websites. A website uses cookies to help identify and track visitors, the use of the website, and visitors' website access preferences across multiple requests and visits. It is possible to include Personally-Identifying Information, or references to such information, in cookies, thereby enabling websites to track the online movements of particular individuals. To prevent Firefox from sending cookies to specific websites, configure Firefox to prompt you when a website wants to set a cookie. To prevent Firefox from sending cookies to any website, configure it to disable cookies. For information about changing these preferences, go to our help page. Privacy Policy Changes

Mozilla may change the Firefox Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all changes will be reflected on this page. When Mozilla changes this policy in a material way a notice will be posted on the website at www.mozilla.com. Substantive changes may also be announced through the standard mechanisms by which Mozilla communicates with its users and community, including Mozilla's "mozilla-announce" mailing list. It is your responsibility to ensure that you understand the terms of this Privacy Policy. You should periodically check this page for any changes to the current policy. For More Information
