Hi, I'd like to get clarification on when a purpose can be designated opt-in. After reviewing the spec, esp http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P/#English, I'm still fuzzy. For a web form with the fields: email address (required) first name (not required) last name (not required) The form says "Sign up to receive our newsletter." When users submit, they are added to a mailing list. Users can unsubscribe at any time from another web form whose link is included in all newsletters. What should the purpose be? <current/> - to complete the sign up process. <contact required="opt-out"/> - to use the submitted info for marketing, submission only allows signup, user must opt-out later. <contact required="opt-in"/> - to use the submitted info for marketing, the act of submitting is the "opt-in" of the the user. Or a combination of both? Can it be "opt-in" since that's the stated purpose of the site and the user must explicitly submit? Ie. If they dont' want to opt-in, they can leave the site and not submit. In all cases, should the DATA elements be as below? <DATA ref="#user.home-info.online.email"/> <DATA ref="#user.name.given" optional="yes"/> <DATA ref="#user.name.family" optional="yes"/> Thanks, Kim
