#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 zbyszek): It's a good point that every application can expose data on it's own. Especially that we cannot expect users to see a clear distinction between "Fedora the os" and any package distributes in Fedora. And yes, going into to technical details would create an unmanageable mess. The way out, I think, is to distinguish between data that you expose to Fedora servers, i.e. data which is inherently exposed by installing and updating and running Fedora, and data which is exposed to other parties by use of applications. I think this latter part could be subject of a privacy guide, but falls outside of the scope of a Privacy Policy. I think that current policy is dangerously close to "all data are belong to us", without needing to be. Fedora is pretty good about not collecting data so we are underselling ourselves here. I'll have to put my money where my mouth is and come up with a draft as jwb suggested. I'm bound to get various details wrong, but maybe it can serve as a starting point for further discussion. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/53#comment:6> 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.
