Don't panic, this is a Firefox policy change, not a NordVPN data grab.

NordVPN hasn't introduced any new telemetry, tracking, or background data harvesting. They simply pushed an update to comply with Firefox's new rules. Because this is a premium, account-based service, it naturally handles:

Authentication: Your Nord Account login/email.

Financial Info: Checking your active subscription status so the extension actually works.

Location: Finding the closest, fastest VPN servers to route your traffic.

Chill. It's exactly the same Nord VPN service we've been getting all along.
