Abstract

Today, several online services are provided for free in exchange for the users private information/interaction online. It is common for these services on the internet to also act as data warehouse, gathering the usage information and all interaction of its users. The collection and dissemination of the data is governed by the service provider´s privacy policy, which users must agree to prior to using the service. Once agreed to the policy, the user no longer has any say in regard to how the service provider uses the data. In this paper, we propose a model for 3 parties policy architecture that allows the consumer, the data warehouse, and a 3rd party service provider that want to use the data stored by the data warehouse to negotiate the privacy policy and the need to access the data. We propose an application architecture utilizing this policy model, and discuss how it can be used. Lastly, we discuss the dataset we perform simulation experiment on, and our findings.
