The platform for privacy preferences
Abstract
Internet users are concerned about the privacy of information they supply to Web sites, not only in terms of personal data but information that Web sites may derive by tracking their online activities. Many online privacy concerns arise because it is difficult for users to obtain information about actual Web site information practices. The World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Platform for Privacy Preferences Project (P3P) provides a framework for informed online interactions. The goal of P3P is to enable users to exercise preferences over Web site privacy practices at these Web sites. P3P applications will allow users to be informed about Web site practices, delegate decisions to their computer agent when they wish and tailor relationships with specific sites. Users' confidence in online transactions will increase when they are presented with meaningful information and choices about Web site privacy practices. P3P is a project of the W3C, an international industry consortium that specifies protocols that promote the evolution of an open and interoperable Web. INSET: The P3P Vocabulary.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
