The passage, in context

Paragraph 6 of 207

How is your data used?

To provide you with the Firefox browser

Mozilla collects certain data , like technical and settings data, to provide the core functionality of the Firefox browser and associated services, distinguish your device from others, remember and respect your settings, and provide you with default features such as New Tab , PDF editing , password manager and Total Cookie Protection . You can further customize your Firefox experience by adjusting your controls, buttons, and toolbars and adding features with add-ons .

Some Firefox features, like automated translation for web pages and "alt-text" suggestions when you upload images in your PDFs , are powered by artificial intelligence (AI) based on small language models downloaded to your device. These operate locally - web page content, PDFs, images and tab URLs stay on your device and are not sent to Mozilla's servers or used for training purposes without your explicit consent. Note that other Firefox features may integrate third-party AI models, as further detailed in this Notice. Learn more, including how to control AI-based features and models in your settings.

If you choose to use the Smart Window feature, your use of the feature is governed by the Smart Window Privacy Notice , which explains how data is processed in connection with Smart Window.

To adapt Firefox to your needs

Firefox processes a variety of personal data in a way that does not leave your device, such as browsing history, web form data, temporary internet files, and cookies. This means the data stays on your device and is not sent to Mozilla's servers unless it says otherwise in this Notice. If you choose to allow it, your precise location may also be processed for location-related functionality for websites like Google Maps; this data is only accessed from your device by the website(s) you choose to enable it for - it is not sent to Mozilla's servers.

If you work for Mozilla Firefox, or you are researching this and need the full capture, ask us for it and we will send it. If you believe a quote here is wrong or out of date, send us the paragraph. The correction gets published beside the clause.
