The U.S. Federal Trade Commission released a 112-page report on privacy.
 The have reiterated the Fair Information Practice Principles as guiding
their perspectives and offer these three (3) principles:

" - *Privacy by Design*: Build in privacy at every stage of product
development;
- *Simplified Choice for Businesses and Consumers*: Give consumers the
ability to make decisions about their data at a relevant time and context,
including through a Do Not Track mechanism, while
reducing the burden on businesses of providing unnecessary choices; and
- *Greater Transparency*: Make information collection and use practices
transparent."

The Executive Summary gives a fairly good grounding of the views. If you
