Here is a text version of the Web Tracking and Privacy paper. http://www.cnpd.pt/bin/relacoes/comunicados/Web_tracking_Working_Paper.pdf -----Original Message----- From: mts-std@schunter.org [mailto:mts-std@schunter.org] Sent: 28 June 2013 00:31 To: public-tracking@w3.org Subject: Letter from Dr. Dix (German data protection authority) Dear Team, Peter and I have received the enclosed letter from Dr. Dix as input for our consideration. It contains - a cover letter, - a position statement on web-tracking outlining the requirements of the International Working Group on Data Protection in Telecommunications ("the Berlin Group"), - and a press statement in German. Regards, matthias PS: My (non-normative) translation of the Press statement: The Press statement says that Google and the German DPA have agreed on guidelines how how to adjust Google Analytics in a way that is in line with the German DPA requirements. Basically (no guarantee for correct translation) these requirements have been fulfilled: 1. Opt-out for users 2. Ability to enterprise users to ask Google to anonimize the IP addresses collected (by dropping the last part) 3. Contracts between Google and Enterprises using Analytics that satisfy the requrements of Google acting as Data Processor. ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Web Tracking Date: Thu, June 27, 2013 11:28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Prof. Swire, Dear Mr. Schunter, please find attached a letter of Dr. Dix and the enclosures.
