Re: Moving "C"onsent from Tracking Status to Permitted Use?

Hi JC,

I agree that existing (behavioral) ad interest frameworks can be adapted easily to support DNT. As we learned from P3P, a technical platform for privacy protection needs to be embeded into a framework of enforceable rules. 

If DNT is going to play out as a collection limitation tool, then the framework will be enforceable data protection rules/local laws. If DNT is going to play out as a use limitation tool, the framework will be the self regulatory frameworks that are out there.

So far neither DAA or E-DAA has given any clarity as to, if and how DNT will be adapted to the self regulatory frameworks. That is why for me it is important to learn from industry whether DNT will have ANY added value in terms of providing a minimum and non-negotiable level of privacy protection for all individuals by default.  

Hopefully it will become clear soon what the purpuse of DNT is going to be. It will make all of a difference if the group has reached consensus about what type of DNT we are building. It allows us to revisit many of the topics that are intertwined.

For example, if DNT is a use limitation instrument, then in terms of providing a minimum of non-negotiable level of privacy protection to all individuals DNT has to be enabled by default. if DNT is a collection limitation instrument, DNT needs to express the intentions of a user, which makes a DNT unset more in the line of a reasonable default.
