Reminder for any organization dealing with a Privacy Policy:

It's not the privacy policy that matters as much as your actual practices.

Your privacy policy *needs* to accurately and truthfully describe your practices. If it doesn't, you could get in a lot of legal trouble, even if you have "checkboxed" the privacy policy requirement.

Due to a recent update of Mozilla FireFox (MFF/FF) terms of service (addition) and an updated privacy policy of their web browser: You will no longer use it, instead find a downstream of FF or simply a google chromium downstream such as Ungoogled Chromium or LibreWolf/Tor Browser, and leave FF behind for good this time.
