+"anonymous" ping
+================
+
+.. note::
+
+ This ping is no longer sent by Firefox or Fennec.
+
+This ping is only for product survey purpose and will not track/associate client ID. It's used
+to evaluate custom tab usage and see which app is using our custom tab.
+
+Submission interval & triggers
+Since this ping is used to measure the feature usage, it should be sent each time the client app uses our custom tab.
+
+Dataset:
+Only opt-in users will send out this ping.
+Since all other pings will collect client ID. We need this custom ping to not do that.
+
+Size and volume:
+The size of submitted payload is small. And this custom ping should be deprecated after it's released for 6 months.
+
+Privacy:
+We won't collect customer information so there'll be no PI leak.
+
+Data contents:
+The content of this ping will let us know which app is using our custom tab.
+Just like other feature usage measurement, we only need it for opt-in users (which consider as heavy users).
+
+Structure:
+
+.. code-block:: js
+
+ {
+ "payload": {
+ "client": <string> // The package name of the caller app.
+ }
+ type: <string>, // "anonymous", "activation", "deletion", "saved-session", ...
+ id: <UUID>, // a UUID that identifies this ping
+ creationDate: <ISO date>, // the date the ping was generated
+ version: <number>, // the version of the ping format, currently 4
+
+ application: {
+ architecture: <string>, // build architecture, e.g. x86
+ buildId: <string>, // "20141126041045"
+ name: <string>, // "Firefox"
