+<h1>SeaMonkey Privacy Policy</h1>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>
|
|
|
+We're working hard to protect your privacy while delivering products and
|
|
|
+services that bring you the performance and protection you desire in your
|
|
|
+personal computing. This privacy policy explains how Mozilla Foundation
|
|
|
+("Mozilla"), collects and uses information about users of the official SeaMonkey
|
|
|
+Internet suite ("SeaMonkey"). It does not apply to other Mozilla websites,
|
|
|
+products or services.

|
|
+<h2 id="info-types">Types of Information</h2>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>
|
|
|
+As with most Internet products, SeaMonkey sends certain information to the
|
|
|
+websites that you visit. This information falls into the following categories:
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<ul>
|
|
|
+ <li><i>"Personal Information"</i> is information that you provide to us that
|
|
|
+ personally identifies you, such as your name, phone number or email address.
|
|
|
+ Except as described below, Mozilla does not collect or require end-users of
|
|
|
+ SeaMonkey to furnish Personal Information.</li>
|
|
|
+ <li><i>"Non-Personal Information"</i> is information that cannot be directly
|
|
|
+ associated with a specific person or entity. Non-Personal Information
|
|
|
+ includes but is not limited to your computer's configuration and the version
|
|
|
+ of SeaMonkey you use.</li>
|
|
|
+ <li><i>"Potentially Personal Information"</i> is information that is
|
|
|
+ Non-Personal Information in and of itself but that could be used in
|
|
|
+ conjunction with other information to personally identify you. For example,
|
|
|
+ Uniform Resource Locators ("URLs") (the addresses of web pages) and Internet
|
|
|
+ Protocol ("IP") addresses (the addresses of computers on the internet),
|
|
|
+ which are Non-Personal Information in and of themselves, could be Personal
|
|
|
+ Information when combined with internet service provider ("ISP") records.</li>
|
|
|
+ <li><i>"Aggregate Data"</i> is information that is recorded about users and
|
|
|
+ collected into groups so that it no longer reflects or references an
|
|
|
+ individually identifiable user.</li>
|
|
|
+</ul>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<h2 id="websites">Information SeaMonkey Sends to Websites</h2>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>
|
|
|
+Like most web browsers, SeaMonkey sends information to the websites you visit,
|
|
|
+including (1) Non-Personal Information of the type that web browsers typically
|
|
|
+make available, such as the type of browser you are using, your language
|
|
|
+preference, the referring site, and the date and time of your visit; and
|
|
|
+(2) Potentially Personal Information such as your IP address. This information
|
|
|
+may be logged on the websites you visit. What information is logged and how that
|
|
|
+information is used depends on the policies of each of the websites you visit.
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>
|
|
|
+Each website determines its own privacy policy for the distribution and use of
|
|
|
+this Non-Personal Information and Potentially Personal Information. If you are
|
|
|
+concerned about how a website will use this information, check out its privacy
|
|
|
+policy. To find out more about how Mozilla uses this information on its own
|
|
|
+websites, see the

|
|
|
+<i>Crash-Reporting Feature</i>. SeaMonkey has a crash-reporting feature that
|
|
|
+sends a report to Mozilla when SeaMonkey crashes. Mozilla uses the information
|
|
|
+in the crash reports to diagnose and correct the problems in SeaMonkey that
|
|
|
+caused the crash. Though this feature starts automatically after SeaMonkey
|
|
|
+crashes, it does not send information to Mozilla until you explicitly authorize
|
|
|
+it to do so. By default, this feature sends a variety of Non-Personal
|
|
|
+Information to Mozilla, including the stack trace (a detailed description of
|
|
|
+which parts of the SeaMonkey code were active at the time of the crash) and the
|
|
|
+type of computer you are using. Additional information is collected by the crash
|
|
|
+reporting feature. Which crash reporting feature is used and what additional
|
|
|
+information collected by SeaMonkey depends on which version of SeaMonkey you're
|
|
|
+using.
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<dl>
|
|
|
+ <dt style="text-decoration: underline;">SeaMonkey 1.x.</dt>
|
|
|
+ <dd>
|
|
|
+ <p>These earlier versions of SeaMonkey don't include a crash reporting feature
|
|
|
+ at all, no information about crashes is sent to Mozilla at any time.
|
|
|
+ </p>
|
|
|
+ </dd>
|
|
|
+ <dt style="text-decoration: underline;">SeaMonkey 2.x.</dt>
|
|
|
+ <dd>
|
|
|
+ <p>For the current versions of SeaMonkey, "SeaMonkey Crash Reporter" is
|
|
|
+ SeaMonkey's crash reporting feature. With this feature, you have the option
|
|
|
+ to include the URL of the site you were visiting when SeaMonkey crashed, a
|
|
|
+ comment, and your email address in the report. SeaMonkey Crash Reporter also
|
|
|
+ sends a list of all add-ons that you were using at the time of the crash,
|
|
|
+ the time since (i) the last crash, (ii) the last install, and (iii) the
|
|
|
+ start-up of the program. Mozilla only makes Non-Personal Information (i.e.,
|
|
|
+ generic information about your computer, the stack trace, and any comment
|
|
|
+ given by the user) in the public reports available online at
|
|
|
+ <a href="http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/">http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/</a>.

|
|
|

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>
|
|
|
+To safeguard your privacy, Mozilla makes the Personal Information, such as your
|
|
|
+name and email address, and Potentially Personal Information, such are the URL
|
|
|
+of the site you last visited, only available to its employees, contractors, and
|
|
|
+selected contributors who signed confidentiality agreements that prohibit them
|
|
|
+from using or disclosing such information other than for internal Mozilla purposes.

|
|

|
|

|
|
|
+<i>Report Broken Web Site Feature</i>. SeaMonkey's Report Broken Web Site
|
|
|
+feature lets you notify Mozilla when a website you visit improperly displays or
|
|
|
+incorrectly functions. The feature sends the URL of the broken website to
|
|
|
+Mozilla. You may also choose to send your email address and a description of the
|
|
|
+problem. This feature also sends a variety of Non-Personal Information to
|
|
|
+Mozilla, including but not limited to the version of SeaMonkey you are using and
|
|
|
+your language preference. Except for your email address, Mozilla makes all of
|
|
|
+this information public. This feature does not send information to Mozilla until
|
|
|
+you explicitly authorize SeaMonkey to do so. To prevent this public release of
|
|
|
+Personal and Potentially Personal Information, don't report a website if the
|
|
|
+website's URL contains your Personal and Potentially Personal Information, and
|
|
|
+don't include Personal Information in your description of the problem. To
|
|
|
+prevent the release of any information, don't use this feature to report a
|
|
|
+broken website.

|
|
|

|
|
|
+<i>Automated Update Service</i>. SeaMonkey's automatic update feature (only
|
|
|
+included in SeaMonkey 2.x) periodically checks to see if an updated version of
|
|
|
+SeaMonkey and installed add-ons are available from Mozilla.

|
|
|
+ version of SeaMonkey you are using, build ID and target, update channel,
|
|
|
+ your operating system, and your language preference. This feature also sends
|
|
|
+ Potentially Personal Information to Mozilla in the form of a cookie named
|
|
|
+ "aus" that contains a unique numeric value to distinguish individual
|
|
|
+ SeaMonkey installs. Mozilla uses this information to provide you with
|
|
|

|
|
|
+ SeaMonkey users. We use this information to improve our products and

|
|
+ including the version of SeaMonkey you are using, version of the add-ons you
|
|
|
+ have installed, build ID and target, update channel, your operating system,
|
|
|
+ and your language preference with each check of an add-on that uses
|
|
|
+ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/ as its update host. If any of
|
|
|
+ your add-ons use a third party update URL, SeaMonkey will check that URL for
|
|
|
+ updates to those add-ons.

|
+We do not collect or track any Personal Information or any information about
|
|
|
+the Web sites you visit, and we do not release the raw information we obtain
|
|
|
+from these features to the public. We may release reports containing Aggregate
|
|
|
+Data so that our global community can make better product and design decisions.
|
|
|
+To prevent Mozilla from obtaining this information, you can turn this feature
|
|
|

|
|
|
+SeaMonkey 1.x includes an update notification instead of the Automated Update
|
|
|
+Service used in SeaMonkey 2.x. The notification only requests a web document
|
|
|
+from the SeaMonkey website (the usual Non-Personal Information listed in the
|
|
|
+<a href="websites">Websites topic</a> of this page is sent, but nothing else).
|
|
|
+SeaMonkey then determines if the installed version is older than the one offered
|
|
|
+on the website, and if so, displays an update notification.

|
|
|
+<i>Add-ons Features.</i> One thing that makes SeaMonkey so flexible is the
|
|
|
+ability for you to add various add-ons, extensions, and themes to SeaMonkey,
|
|
|
+thereby creating a custom browser that fits your needs. The following features
|
|
|
+show how SeaMonkey 2.x provides both the ability to obtain additional add-ons
|
|
|
+easily and to protect against potentially harmful add-ons.

|
|
+ <dt style="text-decoration: underline;">Get Add-ons Feature</dt>
|
|
|
+ <dd>
|
|
|
+ <p>SeaMonkey 2.x offers a Get Add-ons Feature. This feature creates a list of
|
|
|
+ recommended add-ons and extensions to try. You access this recommended list
|
|
|
+ by clicking on the "Get Add-ons" tab from the SeaMonkey Add-ons Manager. We
|
|
|
+ do not collect any Personal Information. To display the recommended list,
|
|
|
+ SeaMonkey sends Non-Personal Information to Mozilla, including the type of
|
|
|
+ computer and version of SeaMonkey you are using as well as any cookies set
|
|
|
+ by https://addons.mozilla.org.
|
|

+ </p>
|
|
|
+ </dd>
|
|
|
+ <dt style="text-decoration: underline;">Blocklist Feature</dt>
|
|
|
+ <dd>
|
|
|
+ <p>SeaMonkey 2.x also offers a Blocklist feature. With this feature, once a
|
|
|
+ day SeaMonkey does a regularly scheduled, automatic check to see if you have
|
|
|
+ any harmful add-ons or plug-ins installed. If so, this feature disables
|
|
|
+ add-ons or plug-ins that Mozilla has determined contain known
|
|
|
+ vulnerabilities or major user facing issues or fatal bugs (e.g., client
|
|
|
+ crashes on startup or something causing an endless loop of unusability).
|
|
|
+ You may view <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/blocklist/">Firefox's current
|
|
|
+ list of Blocklisted items</a>, SeaMonkey's list is a subset of those,
|
|
|
+ blocking only those that affect SeaMonkey in any way. This feature sends
|
|
|
+ Non-Personal Information to Mozilla, including the version of SeaMonkey you
|
|
|
+ are using, operating system version, build ID and target, update channel,
|
|
|
+ and your language preference. In addition, Mozilla also uses this feature to
|
|
|
+ count the number of active SeaMonkey users. Currently there is no basic user
|
|
|
+ interface to disable the Blocklist feature. An
|
|
|
+ <a href="http://www.support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+makes+unrequested+connections#Extensions_blocklist_updating">article
|
|
|
+ in the Firefox Knowledge Base</a> explains how you may disable the Blocklist
|
|
|
+ feature, this explanation holds true for SeaMonkey as well. Disabling the
|
|
|
+ Blocklist feature is not recommended as it may result in using extensions
|
|
|
+ know to be untrustworthy. More information about the Blocklist feature may
|
|
|
+ be found at <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Extension_Blocklisting">https://wiki.mozilla.org/Extension_Blocklisting</a>.

|

|
|
|
+ (i) location provided by a GPS device built into or attached to your
|
|
|
+ computer or device and/or geolocation services provided by the operating
|
|
|
+ system; (ii) the wifi routers closest to you; (iii) cell ids of the cell

|
|
|
+ access points and/or cellular phone towers; and/or (v) your computer or
|
|
|
+ device’s IP address. Next, it attempts to determine your location using
|
|
|
+ these location markers. Any information SeaMonkey uses, receives or
|
|
|
+ sends as part of this Location-aware Feature is not received by any
|
|
|
+ Mozilla servers or by Mozilla. SeaMonkey does not track or remember your
|
|
|
+ location. SeaMonkey does remember a random client identifier, the
|
|
|

|
|
|
