            Abstract : 
In today´s age of information technology, there is an increasing concern for the privacy of an individual´s records stored on computers. The Internet and security vulnerabilities provide an opportunity for hackers to misuse information. The level of an individual´s trust for an organization can be ensured or influenced by the organization´s privacy policy. Privacy has become a concern only recently and hence, creating well documented and comprehensive organizational privacy policies still remains a challenge. The paper presents results on a special privacy policy modeling language processor (PPMLP) based on service oriented architecture (SOA) for an organization to model the structure and contents of private policy they want through a meta type of privacy policy specifications.
