P3P: Platform for Privacy Preferences Project
The Platform for Privacy Preferences Project (P3P) is an industry standard that enables web sites to express their privacy practices in a standardized format that can be automatically retrieved and interpreted by user agents. With P3P, users need not read the privacy policies at every site they visit; instead, key information about what data is collected by a web site can be automatically conveyed to a user, and discrepencies between a site's practices and the user's preferences can be automatically flagged.
