there is a section in the privacy policy explanations specifically dedicated to campaigns and petitions. i'm confused why it would need to mention any specifics like that they ask for an email address when their definition of personal information is defined as information they ask you for. it says they'll only use it for things you give them permission to use it for. is the privacy policy great to read? no. is it a little confusing being broken up into parts to make it "easy" to read? a little bit. the point is, they're not going to use the email address for anything else. and honestly, who doesn't have email aliases if you're protecting your email address so much that even Mozilla is a red flag? how did you even sign up for lemm.ee when it has almost regulations for your information ("we only share it with third parties that help us and that we like their privacy policy")? Mozilla does the same.
no, it doesn't. it only makes very vague claim that can really mean anything.
i expect better job from company of the size of mozilla, than i expect from lemm.ee, as i somehow expect them having few more layers ;)
You clearly didn't read past where you highlighted because they make the same claim that lemmee does right after that. And Mozilla has a reputation. What's lemmee have? Because it's unknown, you trust it more? Are you serious? I'm not trusting some rando with my email address simply because I shouldn't expect much from them. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If anything, you should trust an unknown variable less. Who knows how easily lemm.ee can be hacked. It's protected by third party organizations that they trust with your information.
Mozilla has a track record. Lemm.ee has nothing.
You "care" about privacy but don't know anything about it.
i clearly didn't, do you know why?
because they don't make ANY claim after that.
that highlighted part is end of section "product & policy campaigns". what follows is information about cookies, 3rd party analytics and purchases on mozilla websites.

look, i understand your longing to deliver some sick burn, fanboy, but before you start lecturing other to learn to read, you should really master that craft yourself.
well i shouldn't expect the need for blind trust from mozilla.
This is their policy on sharing with third parties. I suggest reading everything. Like I said, the same qualifications you trusted a random person with no reputation and no track record and not even a commitment to privacy that Mozilla has. You literally trusted a stranger simply due to convenience. You like to pretend you care about privacy, but you understand nothing about it.
I'm guessing you didn't actually read the privacy policy. I refer you back to the slight confusion about breaking up easy parts to read. I guess that did confuse you and you stopped reading.
