Re: question about privacy template/marks for websites

Hi Prateek,

Rigo can probably give you an update on the current status on any W3C work in this area, and it might be worth pinging Mary Rundle to see if her work on privacy icons found a home…

In the meantime, Aza Raskin’s straw-man designs for Mozilla are a pretty good alternative to starting something from scratch:

Hope this helps,
