Privacy Policy
What's a privacy policy and do I need one?
The Platform for Privacy Preferences, or P3P,
is a protocol that allows websites to declare how they intend to use any information
they collect about users browsing the website. The aim of P3P is to give users more
control of their personal information.
As a P3P-compliant website, the Tastic site publishes a privacy policy to state
the kind of information collected on the site, and how we use it. A P3P-enabled
web browser can use the privacy policy to decide what to do, either by comparing
the policy with the user's stored preferences or by asking the user how to proceed.
