entire policy and six specific assertions (which are used in statements) which only apply<br />
to the collected data. The five general assertions are:<br />
• With the two attributes discur and opturi of the POLICY element the location<br />
of the human-readable privacy policy (also called the disclosure URL) and possible<br />
opt-out mechanisms (if applicable) have to be provided.<br />
• The TEST element indicated whether a P3P policy is for testing purposes only.<br />
This is especially useful if websites are implementing P3P and want to test their<br />
P3P configuration. User-agents should not consider policies with the TEST indicator<br />
set as valid. This element is optional.<br />
• The ENTITY element contains all relevant contact information about the website<br />
operators, the entity running the website. This includes name, address, e-mail,<br />
telephone and other contact data.<br />
• Websites may allow users to access, modify or delete the data the website has collected<br />
about them. For the purpose of indicating the level of access, the ACCESS<br />
element was introduced.<br />
• Another optional element concerns the dispute resolution. If website visitors have<br />
a privacy-related dispute, they should know whom to contact and how to contact<br />
the corresponding party. This information can be provided using the DISPUTES<br />
element. If using the DISPUTES element, websites should also include the subelement<br />
REMEDIES to specify which remedies are applicable if websites do not<br />
adhere to their privacy policy.<br />

marketing contact preferences” Microsoft stores about users at Microsoft’s Profile Center<br />
which is available at https://profile.microsoft.com/RegSysProfileCenter/Infodefault.aspx.<br />
Beside Microsoft’s contact information, it is also stated that Microsoft provides access to<br />
all identified data they collected () and that there<br />
are two ways to resolve dispute issues: either by contacting Microsoft Customer Service<br />
or TRUSTe whereas both will correct any errors made but no monetary compensation<br />
will be provided ().<br />
