Abstract :
E-commerce is one of the mediums being used for online business via internet. Buying, selling and exchanging information are examples of activities conducted in e-commerce. In order to use e-commerce, some private information must be revealed by the customer. At this point, privacy policy plays the role in preventing unauthorized access to the user´s private information. This study will investigate the concept of a privacy policy and the role of a platform for privacy policy preference (P3P) in e-commerce. This paper suggest some key improvements that should be included in privacy policy statements based on P3P and end with suggestions for future work.
