Can P3P be used inEurope?
Presently, yes. However, merely using P3P does not excuse a service from the legal obligations it may have. It could be used in any jurisdiction if it is used in a way that complies with the laws of that jurisdiction. P3P is a method of making consensual and informed decisions on the basis of privacy practice disclosures. This may be sufficient in some cases; it may not be in others. For instance, some jurisdictions may have specific data collection, access, and retention prohibitions or requirements. Or they may have additional enforcement and reporting requirements. The flexibility to solicit information and make a wide range of disclosures does not necessarily mean that all solicitations and privacy practices are permissible. Rather, the flexibility enables P3P to be used in conjunction with various laws and policies the world over.
