Data stewards come from a variety of teams within Mozilla, including data science, Firefox engineering, mobile products, Pocket, Common Voice, AMO, and Thunderbird. You are welcome to tag any steward for any collection request, without respect to the nature of your collection.

In some cases a data steward may escalate concerns to the Trust and Legal teams. They are the teams responsible for defining Firefox data collection policies and can field questions about internal policy and laws governing user privacy

Mozilla always strives to make data reviews public.  However, there are sometimes limited sets of circumstances when we may conduct our reviews in a private bug; for example, a service is part of an agreement where the partnership is not yet public.  These reviews will be made public once the actual data collection begins.

For any data collection that is classified as category 3 or 4 (described below) – including in pre-release channels and experiments – we require additional review to be performed and an announcement to a mailing list. The reason for this is that while our privacy policies describe what we can do without additional user notice, this is an upper bound; even for collection which fits within the policy, we need to determine whether that collection is appropriate and conforms to our overall commitment to privacy and minimization.

While a Data Steward may provide assistance with escalating a request or submitting it through the sensitive data review process, they are not part of the actual review of escalations. That is handled by a separate cross-functional team.
