AFAIK, in Germany, it's the laws that any such "passing on personal

unlawful.
I'd seriously recommend to pass this proposal on to a EU
data-privacy law expert.
I'll pass on this concern, but generally I trust Fedora Legal to take
these things into account.
Also, please do note that this is not a change -- it appears in the
current privacy policy as well.

If you say so :-)
I didn't compare to the old version.
However, I have to emphasize that I feel, you (RH and all of the US) are
underestimating how sensitive this topic currently is. Things that would
have "gone unnoticed", won't "go unnoticed" these days.
Very sensitive is anything that concerns personalized tracking and
passing on personalized data to 3rd parties.
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.
But our privacy policy is not "terms of use", nor is it modeled on
those companies. Is there anything in specific you are worried about
causing damage (severe or otherwise), beyond the concern about EU data
privacy laws and not wanting us to use third parties for research?
May-be I need to re-read a couple of times and to let some more time
pass by, but not for now.
