RE: oo.apple.com

All good points, but it misses a long running issue rapidly emerging into
prominence from the recent spate of industry offerings to consumers to give
them some control - the sum of all these different notices and controls from
lots of apps and platforms etc is overwhelming and does not come together in
a way that the ordinary user is going to understand or have time to get
across.  See the following URL for quite a good exposition of the issues:

This could be suggested to the DAP Working Group IMHO. Some kind of 
notification infrastructure is definitely needed whether we talk about 
informed consent (EU) or notice & choice (US).
