Where can I read more about this infringement case?

Since we don't and won't collect private data, I don't think we have a
problem there.

Cool!

It lists these categories of data collection:

Name
Chat function 28% 13%
Photo/Video/Audio
Address
Phone
Apps/websites that request some form of parental involvement
Apps/websites with a parental dashboard
% indicating they may disclose personal information to third parties
Child can be redirected off site


I wonder how these apply to Sugar...

Is the Chat activity p2p, or does it use a jabber server? Does SL run
jabber or other chat servers?

#sugar-meeting is logged, with a prominent notice in the chan topic saying
it is, I guess that is sufficient.

SL doesn't store any Photo/Video/Audio except what users upload themselves,
right?

Do any Activities store any addresses or phone numbers?
