Unless we say otherwise, all references BPSnet in this policy include all such sites. This policy does not apply to your use of unaffiliated sites to which BPSnet may only link.

IV. Platform for Privacy Preferences Policy (P3P)
BPSnet is Platform for Privacy Preferences 1.0 (P3P) compliant. P3P was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), a worldwide web standards setting organization. P3P is a standardized set of multiple-choice questions which cover the major aspects of a Web site's privacy policies and which, taken together, present a clear snapshot of how a site handles users' personal information. P3P-enabled Web sites make this information available in a standard, machine-readable format that P3P enabled browsers can "read" automatically and compare to the user's own set of privacy preferences. For example, Internet Explorer 6 requires third parties that set cookies to deliver P3P compact cookie policies with their cookies. IE6's default setting will test whether a cookie collects personal information and allows an opt-out. IE6 users may change their privacy level to a higher or lower level than the default setting.
