W3C Workshop on Privacy for Advanced Web APIs
Workshops
As the Web advances toward becoming an application development platform that addresses needs previously met by native applications, work proceeds on APIs to access information that was previously not available to Web developers. The broad availability of possibly sensitive data collected through location sensors and other facilities in a Web browser is just one example of the broad new privacy challenges that the Web faces today. Earlier approaches to address privacy issues for the Web, especially through policy languages, have not seen broad implementation in current-generation Web browsers.
This workshop serves to investigate strategies toward better privacy protection on the Web that are effective and lead to benefits in the near term.
