Set to be released next week, Firefox 72 will provide users with an option to delete the telemetry data that the browser collects from them, Mozilla says.
Specifically, the CCPA enables people to learn more about the personal information that is being collected on them, to access the data and correct or delete it, to be informed on the third parties the data is being shared with, and to opt out of the sale of the data.
According to Mozilla, Firefox already operates and handles data in line with these requirements, given the browser maker's focus on user privacy, but it is now taking this approach a step further by allowing users to delete even the small amount of telemetry data collected by the browser.
Such data is not collected in private browsing mode and users can always disable telemetry in Firefox.
Telemetry data hasn't been generally considered personal data, and Mozilla already had in place policies regarding how long such data is kept, but now it's taking it one step further by allowing users to delete such data from its servers.
