I have recently been wondering if, instead of a company having a privacy policy, they could instead use a privacy license. This way you could easily discern their stance on privacy from the name of the license. Not sure if anything like this exists or if it would be worth looking into.
This actually sounds like an interesting deal, as it would make figuring out what a company does with your data easier to understand, but I'm fearful of 2 main things:
1. It's still a battle to explain to non-technically minded people whether an image is Creative Commons or free use or to get them to understand that there are different kinds of CC.
2. It will mean there is less to read through, but many companies will still fit blocks together (ie. General Use+Advertising Third Party+Server Backup in Other Country) or resort to using a license that is more general than they need, but definitely includes the things they want to do.
It's a _really_ cool idea though, and I'm curious whether anyone has ever tried anything like it before.
