Effective July 1, 2004, all state agencies and local government entities are required by Act 1713 of 2003 to provide standardized machine readable privacy policies on their websites in addition to human readable versions. This new requirement is commonly referred to as P3P which stands for the “Platform for Privacy Preferences Project”. These privacy policies are automatically interpreted by internet browsers to compare with a visitor’s personal set of security preferences. This allows a visitor to decide what private information will be recorded or saved by a particular website.
The following information outlines the three policies that have been adopted by the State of Arkansas. These policies have been reviewed by INA legal counsel and tested for compliance set forth within P3P standards from the W3C. Agencies may use these policies or provide their own policy for conversion to a machine-readable format. However, all policies must pass P3P validation to be compliant. Which policy is used is solely dependent on the content or functionality of each web page.
