The data we collect is not personally identifiable, and we try to keep it as minimal as possible. :)

We're not in the business of collecting data, and we do not sell them to advertisers like others do. The collected data helps us to understand where most of our users come from.

Our stats show us which country our users are located in and nothing more. We don't do data profiling. We just look at trends.

We don't see any browsing history, it's all stored locally so that only you can see your own browsing history. If you use Sync, then the data is encrypted.

If you want to read more about our privacy, this article wrote about us at length on this topic: https://www.ghacks.net/2018/01/30/vivaldi-browser-privacy/

Hope this clarifies things for you. :)

Hey Gaëlle!

Huh? Unique ID + /24 + screen resolution is the opposite of "not personally identifiable". You may not use it that way yet, but that's only because no one applied enough incentive or force yet.

You can simply log the downloads. I have no problem with that.

Can we please stop with the whole phoning-home trend? It's scary that such things have even become acceptable.

PS: my result

Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 1,852,797 tested in the past 45 days.

Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 20.82 bits of identifying information.

I am a linux and firefox user in Brazil. I am probably very easy to track combining this information with my geolocation and ISP.

Quick look with Firefox, Brave, Safari and all has similar results for me.

No. How could they identify who i am based on that information alone?

2) every 24 hours it sends IP, ID, version, cpu architecture, screen resolution and time since last message

3) then we store the resolved approximate location after using a local geoip lookup

So, what they have for each ID: approximate location, CPU architecture, screen resolution. They can easily know places you visited.

From Quant's privacy policy: "French law makes it mandatory to keep some connection data (e.g. user ID used, URL or position, nature of the operation, time…) for one year."

It's true that they can still approximate location based on that. But unless you're travelling a lot so that you've many locations in their record, it's impossible for them to identify you.
