It's been about seven years since we amended our privacy policy, and
there are number of things we'd like to better address. Fedora Legal
has produced a new draft, and would like comments. (This involves
actual lawyer time and back and forth, so let's make that a 14-day
comment period.) The draft proposal is at

Sharing Your Personal Information
""
we may disclose personally identifiable information about you to third parties

aggregated information is used to describe our services and is not used to
contact the subjects of the report).

Is this really something we want to do?
Openly said, I don't want this.
AFAIK, in Germany, it's the laws that any such "passing on personal
information" needs to be opt-in - "Opt-out" and "always-on" would be
unlawful.
I'd seriously recommend to pass this proposal on to a EU data-privacy
law expert.
You might not be aware about it, but almost all recent changes in "Terms
of Usage" of US-internet enterprises (Facebook, Twitter, netflix, Google
and esp. *Microsoft*) have been subject to fierce opposition from the EU
and caused severe damage to all these enterprises.
