This is interesting. AT&T is offering a beta version of free Privacy Bird software that "will help Internet users stay informed about how information they provide to Web sites could be used. The AT&T Privacy Bird automatically searches for privacy policies at every website you visit. You can tell the software about your privacy concerns, and it will tell you whether each site's policies match your personal privacy preferences. The software displays a green bird icon at Web sites that match, and a red bird icon at sites that do not."

It's built to take advantage of the W3C's Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P). Only Windows and Internet Explorer users get to monitor their privacy, though, as these are the only platforms supported.  Does anyone already have a privacy policy written according to the P3P standard?  I'd like to develop a template my libraries can use.
