The new technology and standards-based solution is designed to accelerate the widespread adoption of P3P, a privacy framework that puts people in control of their personal information and makes the Web a safer place for commerce. The proposed guidelines, which will be submitted to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), simplify the process by which Web sites of all sizes can post privacy policies, and make privacy and security a central part of e-commerce transactions.
