Learn about daily usage ping data in Firefox Focus, how it’s used, and how to manage or opt out of this data collection.

[[Template:FirefoxPrivacyNotice]] Firefox Focus collects '''daily usage ping data''', also referred to as the DAU (daily active users) ping, to help Mozilla understand how many people actively use the app each day. This article explains what the daily usage ping data is, how Mozilla uses it, and how you can manage or opt out of this data collection in Firefox Focus on Android and iOS. =What is usage ping data?= The daily usage ping contains a very limited set of data, which Mozilla uses to count the number of daily active users of Firefox. This data does not contain any information about what you are doing in Firefox, it only shows that you are using it. =Where can I learn more?= For a technical overview of the data collected in the daily usage ping, see the definitions in the Glean Dictionary [https://dictionary.telemetry.mozilla.org/apps/fenix/pings/usage-reporting for Android] and [https://dictionary.telemetry.mozilla.org/apps/firefox_ios/pings/usage-reporting for iOS]. =How does Mozilla use it?= Mozilla uses daily usage ping data to determine the number of daily active users of Firefox. This data supports Mozilla’s reporting requirements and informs active user estimates for both internal analysis and external reporting needs. These metrics allow Mozilla to assess Firefox’s reach and understand its usage patterns. Mozilla’s approach to data collection is grounded in its core values, as defined in the [https://www.mozilla.orgabout/manifesto/ Mozilla Manifesto]. For more information on how we collect, use and protect user data, refer to our [https://www.mozilla.org/privacy/firefox/ Privacy Notice]. =How to opt out= If you prefer not to participate in daily usage ping data collection, you can opt out by adjusting your settings on Android or iOS. Follow the steps below based on your platform: ==On Android== #Open Firefox Focus and tap the menu button {button ⋮} in the top-right corner. #Select {menu Settings}. #Select {menu Privacy and Security}. #Scroll down to the ''Data Choices'' section. #Toggle off the '''Daily usage ping''' option to opt out of this data collection. #;[[Image:Daily usage ping Focus Android 136|width=350]] ==On iOS== #Open Firefox Focus and tap the menu button ≡ at the bottom of the screen. #Select {menu Settings}. #Scroll to the ''Support'' section. #Toggle off the '''Daily Usage Ping''' option to opt out of this data collection. #;[[Image:Daily usage ping ios|width=350]] To completely opt out of telemetry data collection in Firefox, see [[Manage technical and interaction data collection settings in Firefox#w_how-to-turn-off-technical-and-interaction-data-collection|How do I opt out of data collection]]. =What happens if I disable this option?= If you disable the Daily Usage Ping setting: *Firefox Focus will stop sending daily usage pings to Mozilla. *Mozilla will no longer collect information about your app’s daily activity. This change won’t affect other data collection settings, such as crash reports or technical and interaction data, which can be managed separately. =Related content= *[https://www.mozilla.org/privacy/firefox/ Firefox Privacy Notice] *[[Mobile - Manage Firefox data collection and privacy settings]] *[[Manage technical and interaction data collection settings in Firefox]] *[[Manage daily usage ping data collection settings in Firefox]]
