The core +parts of the service are implemented in this directory. However, the +actual XPCOM service is implemented in the +``data_reporting_service`. + +The core types can actually be instantiated multiple times and used to +power multiple data submission services within a single Gecko +application. In other words, everything in this directory is effectively +a reusable library. However, the terminology and some of the features +are very specific to what the Firefox Health Report feature requires. + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + + architecture + dataformat + identifiers + +Legal and Privacy Concerns +========================== + +Because Firefox Health Report collects and submits data to remote +servers and is an opt-out feature, there are legal and privacy +concerns over what data may be collected and submitted. **Additions or +changes to submitted data should be signed off by responsible +parties.** |
