From 5c988f8e280d41a7b1c317281bc9d19db8bdc812 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raymond Hill Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2017 10:13:01 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Updated Privacy policy (markdown) --- Privacy-policy.md | 12 ------------ 1 file changed, 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/Privacy-policy.md b/Privacy-policy.md index b9765dc..3235e5d 100644 --- a/Privacy-policy.md +++ b/Privacy-policy.md @@ -3,18 +3,6 @@ uBlock Origin does not collect any data of any kind. - uBlock Origin has no home server. - uBlock Origin doesn't embed any kind of analytic hooks in its code. -As of version 1.11.0, the quoted passage below is not longer true -- uBlock Origin will no longer use the resource `checksums/ublock0.txt` (the quoted text will be removed once version 1.11.0 is widespread): - -> uBlock Origin will download the resource at -> `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/checksums/ublock0.txt?_=[unix time stamp in ms]` -> -> - when you visit the _3rd-party filters_ pane in the dashboard; -> - once in a while if you have _Auto-update filter lists_ checked; -> -> ... to find out whether some assets used by uBlock Origin need to be updated. -> -> The purpose of the `unix time stamp in ms` portion of the URL is to be sure the browser cache is bypassed. - The only time uBlock Origin connects to a remote server is to update the filter lists and other related assets. If you disable auto-update in the _"3rd-party filters"_ pane in the dashboard, uBlock Origin will not connect to any remote server, unless you click _"Update now"_ and only if there are assets deemed "out of date". The servers behind `githubusercontent.com` are owned by GitHub, Inc., and thus are unrelated to uBlock Origin, so even if I was interested in analytics (which I am not), I have no access to whatever data is logged by `githubusercontent.com`.
