“The feedback that we’ve got so far is that the schematic is over-kill and that a set of icons more similar to Creative Commons’s would be easier to scan and understand. The next step is for us to come up with a set of orthogonal decisions about what compromises the most important aspects of a privacy policy. In the end, we probably shouldn’t have more than 5 icons in the interest of simplicity.
For now here are a set of axis we’ve come up with:
- Is your information…
- Shared with a 3rd Party?
- Shared internally within the company?
- Anonymized/Aggregated before being stored or used?
- Personally Identifiable?
- Stored for more than x number of days?
- Encrypted on the server?
- Monetized (sold) in some way?
- Usable to contact you? - × × ×
