__Firefox Suggest__ uses data to help deliver better information with less effort. By default, Firefox Suggest shows you recommended and sponsored content based on local data stored on your own computer, such as websites from your browsing history, bookmarks and open tabs (which is not sent to Mozilla). Firefox Suggest does send to Mozilla:

* __Location data__: Firefox temporarily sends Mozilla your IP address, which we use to suggest content based on your country, state, and city. Mozilla may share location information with our [partners](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-suggest#w_who-are-mozillas-partners), but partners will not receive your IP address. In the US, Mozilla may also receive keyword location search data (such as when you search for “Boston”) and share this with our partners to provide recommended and sponsored content. Where this occurs, neither Mozilla nor our partners are able to associate the keyword search with an individual user once the search suggestion has been served.

Where this occurs, neither Mozilla nor our partners are able to associate the keyword search with an individual user once the search suggestion has been served. You can remove this functionality at any time by turning off sponsored suggestions — more information on how to do this is available in the relevant [Firefox Support](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-suggest?as=u&utm_source=inproduct) page.

* __Technical & interaction data__: Firefox sends Mozilla data such as the number of times Firefox suggests or displays specific content and your clicks on that content, as well as basic data about your interactions with Firefox Suggest. Mozilla shares information about how many times suggestions are shown, the position of the suggestion, and suggestions clicked on with our [partners](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-suggest#w_who-are-mozillas-partners) for verification and feature improvement.
