I would expect that the default search engine deals that Firefox mostly relies on for financing could be interpreted as such.

Mozilla gets money, and as a result of the deal, the searches (data) of anyone who didn't change the default go to the company running the default search engine.

By default Google gets not only search but everything entered into the address bar (for "suggestions").

Yeah, that's pretty creepy - that also includes private that that would otherwise not reach the internet.
