Abstract :
The main goal of this project is to evaluate the prospects of combining social navigation techniques into a PET that helps Internet users identify which Websites comply with Canadian privacy legislation and to honor the concerns common among Canadians who conduct personal transactions via the Web. Our PIPWatch tool allows users to collect and share information about the privacy practices of various Websites.
