Thunderbird/Data Collection

At Thunderbird, like at many other organizations, we rely on data to make product decisions. But here, unlike many other organizations, we balance our goal of collecting useful, high-quality data with our goal to give users meaningful choice and control over their own data. The Thunderbird data collection program was created to ensure we achieve both goals whenever we make a change to how we collect data in our product.

Our commitment to data collection grounded in:

• Necessity - We collect only as much data as is necessary when we can demonstrate a clear business case for that data
• Privacy - We give users meaningful choices and control over their own data
• Transparency - We make our decisions about data collection public and accessible
• Accountability - We assign accountability for the design, approval, and implementation of data collection
