RE: do not track list?

We must first determine what it means by do not track. At a high-level if a company is asked to provide everything they have on a certain individual that is on a do-not-track list they should not be able to return anything except logs required to fulfill certain transactions as required by law.

Yes.  There is a big difference.  If I am on a 'do not call' list and someone calls me, I know.  If I am on a 'do not track' list, how do I know if people are complying?
