We also need to add build flags around the Settings UI for this feature. It should not be visible in Beta ro Release, but that is a separate bug IIRC. Since this is a strings bug, it's not for Fx25 which is Aurora.
Attached patch Part 1: Don't build UI for release builds. (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
This patch removes building of the wifi/cell tower UI if we are on the release builds.
With respect to non-UI code in, are we going to just leave that in release builds, or do we also want to wrap those in build flags? If we want to build them conditionally, we'll want to another build flag (MOZ_GEO_REPORTING perhaps) and add that to confvars.sh and configure.in, the way the other datareporting prefs are handled. At the moment, wifi/cell tower is wrapped in MOZ_DATA_REPORTING, but since it's now conditionally built, we might want to change that.

Attachment #796166 - Attachment is obsolete: true
Merge is in about a week - any strings that we want? Also, changing the tracking flags to "?" because string changes means this is for 26, the current Nightly, and shouldn't be tracked for 25.

We won't have the new strings ready before the uplift, so I don't think we need to track this bug. The data collection server also changed its data format, so we need to update Fennec's collection code too.

This is the screenshot for the geo collection text. The strings are not entirely within our Android style, which encourages shorter, user-friendly strings; no multi-sentence things. Ian, any thoughts on this string? These strings have some legal implications, so some feedback from you would be great.

I will be on PTO for two weeks, so unassigning myself from this bug for now. The patch up should be easy to change for whatever new string we end up deciding to use.
Assignee: liuche → nobody
I agree with Chenxia. The strings feel too long. Can we use shorter strings and perhaps use a "Learn more" style UI to send people to a in-content based description. That could be a simple chrome:// URI. It doesn't need to be web-based.

These strings have some legal > implications, so some feedback from you would be great. Sorry it took so long to reply to this. The string is definitely way too long, and inconsistent with the way we phrase our other prefs in this section. Is it possible to use a slightly modified version of the current string we have, with a "learn more" link to a more lengthy description that includes some of the details in Chenxia's screenshot? Could be a website, another page in Settings, a popup... So it would read: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mozilla location services Help improve geolocation services for the Open Web by letting Firefox collect and send anonymous Wi-Fi and cellular tower data --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learn more > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jishnu, would capturing the additional details (regarding service providers, data storage and background data collection) in a secondary page still satisfy the legal requirements for this pref?

I have a two-part recommendation for this: Part 1 - updated Fennec Text "Mozilla location services Collects Wi-Fi and cellular location data from users of Firefox on Android (when running in background) and shares with Mozilla to improve our geolocation service. Learn More" (temporarily redirects to: https://location.services.mozilla.com/) Part 2 - Privacy Notice I'll give some more thought to whether the "Learn More" should redirect to a separate geolocation specific Privacy Notice that's posted on the MLS page, or an existing Privacy Notice (to which we add a section on Geolocation). I'll get back to you on this piece. LMK if you have questions. Mika

Learn More" (temporarily redirects to: > https://location.services.mozilla.com/) Can we clip the "from users of Firefox on Android" part? It's extraneous, since people are already reading this from within Firefox for Android. So it would read: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mozilla location services Collects Wi-Fi and cellular location data when running in the background, and shares it with Mozilla to improve our geolocation service. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learn more > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If desktop users also see the notice, then keep it so that desktop folks know that it's not applicable. Thanks!

The "and its partners" bit makes me feel uneasy. It's ambiguous and sounds kind of sketchy in a 'who else exactly are you sharing this with' kind of way. Are we explaining this in more detail in the "learn more" page? If we are, I guess it's fine. If we aren't, we should fix that. Also please add a comma after "cellular location data"

I think we explain this more in the privacy policy currently found at https://location.services.mozilla.com/privacy (and linked from the "learn more" page). The "When do we share your information with others?" section covers this in more detail.

The "When do we share your information with others?" section > covers this in more detail. Hm, not that I can see... I am seeing information about when we share, but there is no mention of partners or any specific information around that. This is important, because the way this additional line reads right now implies that we are handing this off (or perhaps even selling it) to some unknown third party, so we really need to either a. clarify that, or b. remove that bit of text.
I just want to elaborate here a bit, in case that last comment was unclear. The point I'm trying to make is, if we are saying we have partners who will use this data (either now or some time in the future), I would like to see an explicit "Partners" section as part of the page that is linked from "learn more", that offers at least a sentence or two one what exactly that means. I'm not suggesting that we need an actual list of partners, but just some clarification and assurance to the user that we are using their data in good faith, that we aren't selling it, and so on.

Updated the naming. I went through the robotium API's and there doesn't seem to be a good way to figure out if you've scrolled to the bottom. I added a comment that Settings items should be added to tests in order. I'd also like to wait to land this until we hear back about the documentation clarification - I also feel like the strings sound a little unreassuring about how Mozilla is using user data, and could see this being upsetting to users.

Ok - sorry this dragged on so long, and I should have left more leeway for discussion like this, but it looks like these strings are ready to land. I'd personally be more comfortable waiting for a clear explanation for "Mozilla and its partners" on our ToS, just so there isn't any confusion or misunderstanding. Does that sound reasonable? I don't see a partners section in the privacy notice yet - do these strings absolutely need to be in 30, or can we take the time to get all these details ironed out?

Any update on this?
Flags: needinfo?(cpeterson)
I just reminded Mika and elan about revising this opt-in text.
Flags: needinfo?(cpeterson)
Hi everyone, really sorry for not responding sooner. Just to recap, the proposed text says - Mozilla Location Service Receives Wi-Fi and cellular location data when running in background and shares it with Mozilla and its partners to improve our geolocation services. Learn More. Concern raised in bug - Who are these partners? how is the data being used? Answer - The intention was to be transparent but concise (because of space considerations) and give users notice that we might share their data with others. Currently, we don't share the data with anyone else. But we need to reserve the right to do that b/c in order to provide a better location service we might have to work with another entity. If and when this happens, we will name the entity in the link from "Learn More" and also link to their privacy policy. Suggestion - (1) leave the text as is. (2) change text to: "Receives Wi-Fi and cellular location data when running in background and shares it with Mozilla to improve our location service. Learn More." In #2, I removed the partner reference. The data is shared directly from Firefox to Mozilla. Right now, we don't share it. Only if Mozilla chooses to, will the data be subsequently shared with a partner. And this would be referenced in the full "Learn More" section as well as the MLS privacy notice (which is being written). So if it reduces confusion, my suggestion is to go with this option because it is accurate. Again, sorry for delayed response. Let me know if this explanation is helpful. Mika

Okay, so the decision is to revise the text to the following: "Mozilla Location Service Receives Wi-Fi and cellular location data when running in the background and shares it with Mozilla to improve our location service. Learn More." I'll let someone else close the bug once it's implemented. Thanks, Mika
