- Introduction to P3P
- The Platform for Privacy Preferences Project (P3P)
is a specification from the World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C) that enables Web sites to post their privacy practices
in a machine-readable format (that is, a format that
can be interpreted by user agents, such as Web browsers
or proxy servers). P3P user agents can inform users
about a site's data collection practices and allow users
to either accept or reject data transfer based on their
own preferences. This also frees users from having to
read the privacy policies at every site they visit.
A Web site publishes its privacy policy in an XML format
in accordance with the P3P specification. The P3P Policy
Editor is a visual tool for creating a privacy policy
that conforms to the W3C specification. The editor also
creates an HTML-formatted, human-readable version of
the policy. Use this version to review your policy to
ensure that it is consistent with your organization's
stated privacy practices.
For more information on deploying your P3P policies,
as well as information which will help you with creating
the policies, see the W3C's P3P deployment guide at
http://www.w3.org/TR/p3pdeployment .
For more information about P3P and the latest specification,
visit the W3C Web site at http://www.w3.org/P3P/ . This
version of the P3P editor is based on the P3P 1.0 Recommendation
dated 16 April 2002. This Recommendation is available
on the web at http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P/
.

To
view a Web site's P3P privacy policy
- In Internet Explorer, on the View menu, click
Privacy Report then
view Summary
or you can just Double-click the Web site
for which you want to view the privacy policy.
A P3P policy should contain at least one data group
stating the kind of information or data gathered at
a Web site, why it is gathered, and who receives the
data. Determine all of the data collected at your Web
site. This might include access logs, cookies, and data
collected from forms and Web applications.
If the site has not integrated privacy policy that is
w3c compliant that your browser can understand you will
have to contact that site directly.
- Philosophy
of Inclusiveness
- We do not edit or judge the content that is provided,
we we hold dear the tenants of Freedom of Speech and
Expression - something that we do not feel should be
granted to the few or to one section of a community,
unless the content is in violation of our pragmatic
"Hostility" policy. Hostility: (Where freedom
of speech would result in pages being withdrawn)
Data that a member provides on joining about interests,
locale etc is included in the database on profiling
typical members allowing us to better serve your needs.
Typically adjusting site content, clustering adverts
into relevant groups etc. This information is not passed
onto a third party, however anyone could crawl through
the site and painstakingly gather the same information.
-
The Doghouse honours the right not to be included in
our index
- The Doghouse respects the right to privacy of members
to not be included in the adverts when they join. The
do however take on full responsibility of choosing if
level of detail to be displayed. From name and contact
details, through to just email or not listed at all.
Remember the very nature of the web allows exposure
to all kinds of people, for your ideal Master through
to your parents - just a balance of probability of who
is likely to see it.
- The Doghouse
is Anonymous
- Any of our advertising Partners do not have the
name, email address, phone number, or home address of
anybody who visits The Doghouse. All users who receive
an ad targeted by The Dog House remain completely anonymous.
Since we do not have any information concerning names
or addresses of visitors, we do not sell or rent any
such information to third parties - likewise members
information is also guarded, the list is never sold
or leaves the confines of The Doghouse.
- Intrusions into
Privacy
- In some places your access to the internet is 'spyed'
upon. This typically occurs where your access to the
internet is provided 'by the state' (Russia/Saudi),
or if you access the net from work, where your your
Network support department has a list of which sites
are accessed (like you should be working not using up
bandwidth by catching up on sport results). You might
get error codes like 403/405 "profanity error", they
might block your access using a Proxy Server or something
like Cyber Patrol.
- The Doghouse
Users can Opt-Out of "Cookies"
- Cookies are small text files a Web site can use
(thousands of sites are currently using them) to recognize
a repeat visitor to its site. Cookies are not programs
that come onto a user's system and damage files. Utilization
of cookies that contain no information about you - only
a unique number that has no meaning whatsoever outside
of the The Doghouse Network. The Doghouse may use this
number to track ad exposure to assure a user is not
bombarded with the same ad over and over again. It attempts
to limit the hassle that you get from other sites, and
irritation off switch. While we believe that cookies
enhance the Web experience for the user by limiting
the repetitiveness of advertising, they are not essential.
If you do not want the frequency of ad exposure controlled,
there is a simple procedure that allows the user to
deny or accept this feature.
- Cyber Suppression
- In a number of countries are attempting to suppress
the internet. In other countries such as the USA and
the UK the authorities monitor email, they monitor who
searches for what. A recent case in the UK when an ISP
traced who it was that was doing an online search for
some who was found dead, the ability is there. What
reasonable precautions are you going to take ?
- Protect and Survive
- You are also advised to protect yourself, as many
right wing government such as the one in power in the
UK will enjoy raiding your home in the search for 'porn'
(porn is in the eye of the beholder, and can mean whatever
they want it to mean), during which time your home and
personal life has been violated. If there pics are clothed
there is little problem, in theory they are interested
in obvious hard-on, but then when has that every stopped
anyone. They do not need an excuse, any can be fabricated,
your life can be destroyed from malicious behaviour
and yet there was no further action taken. It is also
not advisable to take your PC into somewhere like PC
world (as with Gary Glitter) and get them to repair
the PC as they are dying to snoop around your PC, god
help you if you are famous. You have to weight up the
risk, take a chance and trash the disk or Protect and
Survive.
