| 4 Firefox Health Report | |
| 5 ===================== | |
| 6 | |
| 7 ``/services/healthreport`` contains the implementation of the | |
| 8 ``Firefox Health Report`` (FHR). | |
| 9 | |
| 10 Firefox Health Report is a background service that collects application | |
| 11 metrics and periodically submits them to a central server. The core | |
| 12 parts of the service are implemented in this directory. However, the | |
| 13 actual XPCOM service is implemented in the | |
| 14 :ref:`data_reporting_service`. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 The core types can actually be instantiated multiple times and used to | |
| 17 power multiple data submission services within a single Gecko | |
| 18 application. In other words, everything in this directory is effectively | |
| 19 a reusable library. However, the terminology and some of the features | |
| 20 are very specific to what the Firefox Health Report feature requires. | |

| 29 Legal and Privacy Concerns | |
| 30 ========================== | |
| 31 | |
| 32 Because Firefox Health Report collects and submits data to remote | |
| 33 servers and is an opt-out feature, there are legal and privacy | |
| 34 concerns over what data may be collected and submitted. **Additions or | |
| 35 changes to submitted data should be signed off by responsible | |
| 36 parties.** |
