It is probably worth pointing out that Firefox's use of Cloudflare's DoH
endpoint is governed by a different policy outlined here:

https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/commitment-to-privacy/privacy-policy/firefox/

Per that policy, other third parties can only get the data with
Mozilla's written permissions. And APNIC (or any other third party) is
not mentioned.
