Is P3P compliant with the DataDirective?
It is not exactly clear how the directive (or P3P) will be implemented. Regardless, we are not in the position to make such an assessment. However, P3P was carefully crafted to ensure that its design did not preclude it from being used in Europe or elsewhere. Use of P3P on its own does not constitute compliance with the Data Directive, however P3P can be an important part of directive compliance for Web services.
