RE: [WSG] Privacy Statements
If you are collecting email and other contact information, you should have a privacy statement detailing what you will do with that information. If you only plan to use it internally, i.e. mailing list, specify that. It's not a nice thing to have; it should be a required thing. We all have gotten burned by spammers and it is nice to know that you are giving your contact info to someone reputable. Ideally, we'd be able to hold people responsible for violating the privacy policy when they do sell it to a spammer. If you don't collect information, you don't need a privacy policy. There's also a theory that Google gives extra points to sites with a privacy policy link on the home page. Now that I've said that, I'm wondering... did I just put a privacy policy on that last site... ? Time to go back and make sure.

[WSG] Privacy Statements Standards
Maybe we can steer it towards web standards? Anyone interested in Privacy as a standard should check out the W3C's Platform for Privacy Preferences http://www.w3.org/P3P/ This is a W3C Recommendation and has been around for a bit now...

Umm, exactly what planet are you on? Can you supply a valid reason why this is not something that should be either in or out of the standards (best practices) for site design?
