Policy regarding opt-out telemetry and privacy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I'm packaging Open Policy Agent [1] (OPA) for Fedora. However, with version 0.20.0, OPA added a telemetry service, enabled by default, reporting to a OPA-managed service the OPA version, a UUID and the build architecture (cf changelog [2] and privacy information [3])

I didn't find any Fedora policy regarding this kind of opt-out telemetry, so I asked the Fedora Packaging Commitee for advice [4]. I got advised to ask Fedora community on this mailing list.

So do you think it is ok to package OPA as is, or should I patch it to make telemetry opt-in by disabling it by default in the Fedora package?

More globally, what do you think should be done in Fedora packages when an upstream project includes a telemetry service?

Thank you & regards,
