Initial Questions: Project/Feature Name: In-product about:support API Tracking ID:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732527 Description: Looking to get the ball rolling on a privacy review for getting the about:support API baked into the browser. We've been experimenting with this on the SUMO forums using an addon and the results have been amazing. This allows us (with the user's permission of course) to automagically pull the about:support information so they don't have to provide it manually. This helps us to better understand the user's issue and ultimately to help resolve the issue faster. It also provides us with more data for investigating issues. We can make correlations between types of issues and information provided in about:support. The next phase of this plan is to implement this feature permanently in the product. We would then use a whitelist to restrict access to the data. That way we can use this data on the SUMO forums, Input, and any other sites that may benefit from this info.

privacy technical reviews are now gated by the policy review and opened only if needd, I will close this for now and we can reopen if we need it. I am also going to unhide this as there is no reason for this to be hidden.
