Personally identifiable information is information that can be used to identify/contact you, such as your name, e-mail address, home/work address, or mobile/telephone number. However, a Web site only has access to the personally identifiable information that you provide, or to the choices you make while visiting a Web site.

For example, a Web site cannot determine your e-mail name unless you provide it. A Web site cant access to other information on your computer without you asks to do so. If a Web site collects personally identifiable information, it may store all the information in a cookie, a small file that it store on your computer.

Most of Web sites provide privacy statements as written documents that you can view on the Internet. Web sites also might provide a Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) privacy policy. If a Web site has a P3P privacy policy, your Browser can display it. A Browser also might be able to compare your privacy settings to a representation of the P3P privacy policy, and determine whether or not to allow the Web site to save cookies on your computer.
