GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 733022
No link to GNOME Privacy Policy

There should be a link to gnome privacy policy on the consent dialogue
We have a very limited policy here: http://www.gnome.org/foundation/legal-and-trademarks/ Some weeks ago I had sent an email to the Foundation board to help us address this. I need to find out whether we have made some progress. Something for 3.16.
(In reply to comment #1) > We have a very limited policy here: > http://www.gnome.org/foundation/legal-and-trademarks/ I agree that is rather limited, alight! Good call in raising the discussion. It would be good to get some policy together that seems more relevant to the sensitive information which might be being shared when a user gives consent to let GNOME applications access that (and I guess, some accountability for whoever sensitive info might have to get shared with, might not go astray since it's reasonable to assume that is not always going to exclusively be the board). > Some weeks ago I had sent an email to the Foundation board to help us address > this.

I read somewhere that privacy was going to be a priority so this sort of thing seems relevant all round, if that is so. Please keep us posted! Cheers.
There was also some discussion on foundation-list about: • displaying a logo if a cloud provider respects the User Data Manifesto (https://userdatamanifesto.org/); and • linking to https://tosdr.org/ https://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2015-September/msg00002.html Feel free to split these ideas out into separate bugs if you think they’re worth pursuing.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
