Mozilla announces compliance with California consumer privacy protection laws to protect user privacy

A few days ago, California, the United States, has passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which is also the most comprehensive bill on consumer data protection in the United States. California consumer privacy law is similar to the European Union ’s general data protection regulations implemented in the European Union, which aims to strengthen data supervision and provide users with better privacy protection. However, the bill is only a local bill in California, and it will not cover the entire United States, so many technology companies will also choose to use a special edition strategy. The so-called special edition strategy is to launch a special data use strategy for regions with data supervision, and data will still be collected unlimitedly in other places.

Mozilla which is dedicated to privacy protection has announced that it will actively embrace the California Consumer Privacy Act and promote privacy protection in accordance with the bill worldwide. That is to say, no matter what country or region the user uses the Mozilla products such as the Firefox browser, they can refuse to collect the user data. This data includes browser usage data, data collected by telemetry services, or related rights attached to the software, and users can refuse to provide the data if they wish.

Although the Firefox browser itself collects very little data, the Mozilla will also provide a delete function so that users can actively manage all their data. If users are worried about some data, they can also directly delete it and no longer provide it to Firefox, so that users can use the products of the Mozilla with greater peace of mind.
