Platform for Privacy Preferences Project, W3C Initiative http://www.w3.org/P3P
Privacy initiative whereby sites would use a set disclosure of how consumer information is handled. Requires voluntary actions of both the supply chain and consumer for effective implementation. Some responsible organizations have made this new "Standard" available for use in site design and construction.
A standard for privacy and content personalization proposed by the World Wide Web Consortium. P3P creates a language in which Web sites and Web users can communicate, and which shields reader preferences and interests.
(Platform for Privacy Preferences Project) - browser feature that will analyze privacy policies and allow a user to control their privacy needs.
abbreviation for "Platform for Privacy Preferences Project"] A privacy and personal information standard being developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (WC3). The basic idea is to create standards and practices that will allow users to control how much personal information they share with a website. P3P technology would, for instance, alert a visitor to a site on the information gathering practices of that site. For more information, see the P3P FAQ.
The Platform for Privacy Preferences Project (P3P) is an emerging W3C standard that allows users to easily view and react to the way their personal information is retrieved and used by Web sites. It allows users to set privacy preferences that govern what information is collected about them, and if a Web site's privacy policy conflicts, the user receives an alert.

A project of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that will give consumers an easy way to learn about and react to the way web sites may be using personal information. Essentially, a P3P-enabled web site would generate a snapshot of how it handles personal information. That snapshot would be compared automatically to preferences set by a consumer using a P3P-enabled browser.
