#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 [comment:4 sgallagh]: > Well, one problem here is that we may not actually be aware of all the places where personally-identifying information could be gathered. We can't realistically audit every package in the Fedora collection to find out, either. > > We might need to treat privacy policy as equivalent to our license policy and require each package maintainer to provide a privacy policy for that package. (This of course is a painful effort and will likely irritate our maintainers.) Not only painful, but error prone and it doesn't scale from an end user point of view. Now you have 16,000+ privacy policies that need to be created, audited, read by a user... it simply isn't feasible. > Alternately, we provide a privacy policy like Facebook, where "all data are belong to us". That of course would be in poor taste and rub many of our users the wrong way. Kinda. > A middle-ground might be to state that the policy applies only to those packages in the default install of the Editions, which would likely be a manageable set of content to work through. This isn't manageable either. It still suffers from the scale issues, both on creation/curation and end-user review. We don't need to take one problem and turn it into 200 or 2000. A real middle ground is something similar to what we already have. That might not be fully complete or clear enough as zbyszek makes some decent points, but it is likely the best course of action here. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/53#comment:5> 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.
