#53: privacy policy should be updated to describe the privacy of Fedora installations, not participation in Fedora events ---------------------+--------------------- Reporter: zbyszek | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: | ---------------------+--------------------- Comment (by jwboyer): Replying to [ticket:53 zbyszek]: > == tl; dr == > > The policy is too complicated, yet lacks detail and does not provide strong guarantees. > Statements like "The Information We Collect ... your Fedora Account password .. your SSH public key ... your affiliation" are not appropriate for a page linked to from the "Privacy Policy" link displayed during installation. > > I hope the Council can help to push towards a better policy document. Currently things seem to be stuck in minimal edits over the last year and half. Maybe the document should be opened for public editing on a wiki somewhere so that people can rearrange the text and take it further from current form. If the Council accepted the general idea of providing strong privacy guarantees things could move forward. You seem to have a good handle on the kinds of changes and overall document you wish to see. Perhaps it would be more expedient if you took the source of the current page (which is accessible) and modified it to match what you would like to see. Then the Council, along with Fedora Legal, could review the new document directly as a possible replacement. As it stands, the Council has never explicitly addressed this issue and its former incarnation in the Fedora Board tended to lean on Fedora Legal to provide guidance. I won't speak for the Council, but I don't think you'll find anyone really opposed to protecting privacy, yet they may be hesitant to jump into a topic they are fairly unfamiliar with. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/53#comment:1> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
